[Advocacy Advisors] meeting with Google on 'right to be forgotten'

Fri May 30 10:40:33 UTC 2014

Hi Dimitar,

Thanks for the update, I'd be curious to hear what they have to say.

Ask them whether they will accept indiscriminately all requests or try to
work on a case-by-case basis for some websites such as ours. Specifically
for WP, someone could want to try to hide an article containing "damning"
yet very public information (it happens regularly with politicians),
whereas some former contributors (particularly those using their real
names) could legitimately want their participation in some (heated)
discussions on talk pages to disappear.

Regards,
SCM
