More Google 'forget' requests emerge

A man who tried to kill his family is among the latest to request removal of search results from Google. A European court this week ruled that an individual could force the removal of some search results. The BBC has learned that more than half of requests sent to Google from UK individuals involved convicted criminals. A business has also sought for links to negative reviews on a forum to be removed. As the European Court of Justice made its ruling on Tuesday, many speculated that a flurry of silar requests would come Google's way. On Thursday it emerged an ex-politician seeking re-election has asked to have links to an article about his behaviour in office removed. A man convicted of possessing child abuse images had also requested links to pages about his conviction to be wiped. Tax scammer More requests came to light on Friday. They included: A man who tried to kill members of his own family who has asked for links to a news article to be taken down A celebrity's child who wanted links to news articles about a criminal conviction removed A suspended university lecturer who asked for the removal of links to articles mentioning the disciplinary action A convicted cyberstalker who, after being cited in an article about cyberstalking law, wants links to it taken down An actor who has asked for links to articles about an affair he had with a teenager taken down A man convicted of running a tax scam who wants all links referencing the event removed Since Tuesday's ruling many have come forward to question the practicality of the EU's decision.
