<font face="Verdana">While the privacy intentions of the ruling
court may be well meaning, to me this is another example of
private policing. How can google be taking such decisions even if
just of interpreting the principles enunciated in the judgement,
principles which in any case are too broad. And these decisions
impact freedom of expression, and often public accountability of
public actors. They may even impact the construction of public
history. <br>
<br>
The Internet calls for a new understanding of many jurisprudential
issues, and perhaps new jurisprudential processes (without giving
interested commercial parties judicial rights). This first of all
requires a great depth and extent of public interest,
non-commercial-actors-funded, research and </font><font

society work. Both are woefully lacking today. And these of
course working to feed a global platform for Internet related
jurisprudence and policy, that itself is not commercial funding
based. All these three requirements do not obtain today.<br>

Over the last few months, search engines around the world have
been keeping an active eye on the developments of the landmark
case ruled by the European Court of Justice (ECJ) requiring
Google to consider individuals’ requests to remove links that
they say infringe on their privacy.<br>
<br>
While this right to be forgotten is now recognised as a European
general principle by the ECJ, fears exist as to the larger
worldwide implications, especially for search engines as well as
the public’s right to access to information.<br>
