PRIVACY BITS: The EU says you have the right to be forgotten. The BBC says “no, not really”.

The BBC said today that it will soon begin publishing a public log of articles whose links have been removed from Google and other search engine results under the EU’s ‘right to be forgotten’ ruling. So now they will start publishing a list of forgotten articles. 

Each time Google removes a link, it notifies the publisher that it has been removed. It’s this list of notifications that the BBC will use to build a list of removed search URLs. 46 BBC articles had already been removed from search results under the highly controversial rule.
