Google on Thursday said that it is forgetting things in Europe to comply with a legal ruling granting people the power to have certain information about them removed from searches. This week, were starting to take action on the removal requests that weve received, Google said in an email response to an AFP inquiry. The California-based Internet search colossus continues to work with data protection authorities to refine processes and standards regarding what information about people merits removal and which deserves to remain in the best interests of the public. A Google spokesman said the worlds leading search engine received 12,000 requests from people seeking to be forgotten the day an online form went live in May.
