Google U-turn over deleted newspaper links - FT.com: "Google’s refusal to discuss the reasons behind its decisions and the spotlight that has fallen on some people who had hoped to use the new right to bury embarrassing or damaging information about themselves, has already drawn complaints from media companies and internet experts.
A Guardian spokeswoman said that the newspaper had not been notified of the decision to reindex six articles. It had only been told a day earlier that the articles had been removed from Google’s UK search service, and had not appealed against Google’s decision.
However, the newspaper had publicly accused Google of “an overly-broad interpretation” of the court ruling when it took issue with the removals. Three of them concerned the referee of a Scottish football game who had been accused of lying about a penalty decision."
