Hi Nathan,
At the moment the WMF legal team is monitoring the situation. We have been
informed that we will receive notifications by Google of takedowns, but we
have not received any notifications that have resulted in a takedown of a
Wikipedia page to date. We're assessing the impact on the Wikimedia
projects before we take action or make public statements.
That said, the Foundation will release our first-ever transparency
report soon, detailing the requests we receive for content takedowns and
user data, our process for handling them, and our incidences of compliance
with such requests. It will address requests from this past year, so the
RtbF ruling won't be reflected, but next year's report will address those
requests.
Legal may have more, as always.
Cheers,
Katherine

Now that Google has begun processing (tens of
thousands) of "Right to be
forgotten" claims from individuals, has the WMF [or any chapter] received
notification of any Wikimedia content being removed from search results?
Is there a plan on how to respond to these? Some (notably the BBC) have
published some of the notifications, inducing a sort of Streisand effect.
Will the WMF publish or publicly track somewhere the receipt of these
notifications?
