EU judges to hear Google 'right to be forgotten' case
http://j.mp/15gUsTr (Telegraph)
"Spanish officials have taken Google to the European Court of
Justice in a bid to force the search giant to delete information
that breaches a person's privacy."

I can't emphasize enough how incredibly misguided and dangerous the
"right to be forgotten" concept is. Even the description in this
article is wrong -- it's not about privacy, it's about attempting to
force search engines (and others) to delete the truth -- simply
because some parties don't like the facts. It is precisely the
mindset of "Nineteen Eighty-Four"'s rulers brought to the 21st century.
