[okfn-discuss] Right to be forgotten ruling

Mon May 19 22:23:36 UTC 2014

There's another angle to this, which is that Google is a private company,
not some neutral, objective, institutional entity.  (The only thing like
that I can think of with a similar, relevant mission is the Internet
Archive.)  Google owns a lot of personal data, and more than that, Google
displays search results from that data ranked by means designed to heighten
Google's bottom line.

I am finding more and more that moves which weaken Google's commercial
control over the world's data have a certain level of default support from
me, regardless of other factors.  But, I'm naive and frustrating that way...
