The “right to be forgotten” can’t work on the internet, UK Lords argue

A British House of Lords committee has strongly criticized the ruling by Europe’s top court that said search engines like Google must remove links to people’s personal information if asked, and where there is no public interest involved. The peers said this was proving unworkable. In a report, the European Union committee also urged the UK government to reject upcoming European data protection revisions that will entrench and expand this so-called “right to be forgotten.”
