> A recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union found that certain users can ask search engines to remove results for queries that include their name where those results are “inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation to the purposes for which they were processed.” > In implementing this decision, we will assess each individual request and attempt to balance the privacy rights of the individual with the public’s right to know and distribute information. When evaluating your request, we will look at whether the results include outdated information about you, as well as whether there’s a public interest in the information—for example, information about financial scams, professional malpractice, criminal convictions, or public conduct of government officials. > If you have a removal request, please fill out the form below. Please note that this form is an initial effort. We look forward to working closely with data protection authorities and others over the coming months as we refine our approach.
They're expecting thousands of requests. I wonder how this will turn out.

but what if there are multiple people with the same name? can one have results for the other removed?

Huh, I didn't really think about that. I imagine they'll try to verify it's the same person, or put the onus on the requestee to do so.

There was a point when Myspace demanded proof that included a document with a photo ie Drivers license - And a new photo of the person holding up a current daily newspaper.

Not everything on google has a picture attached. Think old forums containing retarded posts from when you were a teenager. Ok, probably not very relatable for you, but there are many.

Sounds reasonable, in theory. Of course, it'd need to be handled very well, and I find it likely that there will be at least a few mishandlings of it.

100% rite on the money. And Forums n net and Me? 20 years now. I even see copypasta of my stuff from back 12 years ago and often think its a copycat and then realize I was the fool posting such dribble.
Also C a few things I am still proud of - And one somewhat ashamed of.

What about, like Anon B mentioned, the stupid things people post when they're young? We're not talking Matt Miller type stuff. I'm somewhat undecided about this ruling altogether, but there's a good argument to be made for allowing particular old and irrelevant results to be removed.
Though I could see why Matt might want "FALUN GONG MATT MILLER MAKE BOMB" posts removed...

I'm convinced Matt's doing the FALUN GONG MATT MILLER MAKE BOMB thing as some sort of guerrilla marketing viral SEO scheme for his business, http://kunming-english.com
