Google should be more transparent on the right oblivion. Word of 80 experts, professors, lawyers and jurists who have put pen to paper and signed a long letter published yesterday in The Guardian. A year after the judgment of the European Court of Justice on the right to see deleted on the search engines links that contain news “inadequate or no longer relevant,” on a person, Big G has said that it has received to date 254mila requests and have evaluated the elimination of 925,000 links, rejecting it in 58.7 percent of cases. A “trasparency report” therefore there. Browsing through the examples of requests received strikes the eye as removal is more frequent if it is url linked to criminal proceedings.
For the 80 signatories of the letter, however, is not enough. First and foremost is a need for more clarity on the categories of cases, the percentage of refusal and the response criteria adopted. Necessary, for example, would understand if, in the case of news that affect health, there is more attention or less than insulting or embarrassing photos. This work would be useful for the same Google that would avoid of being submerged practices, especially considering the ease with which you can apply (you fill out a form providing a document). And if they do know from Mountain View to have in the new Serbia, for lawyers it is important to know the processing times of the practices. 15-20 days is the data unofficially. But it remains unclear how hard the practice of those who try to get a link to remove only a whim.
