Google gets take-down requests after European court ruling: source

By Alexei Oreskovic SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Google Inc is already getting requests to remove objectionable personal information from its search engine after Europe's top court ruled that subjects have the \"right to be forgotten,\" a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday. The world's No. 1 Internet search company has yet to figure out how to handle an expected flood of requests after Tuesday's ruling, said the source, who is not authorized to speak on the record about the issue. The decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union, which affects the region's 500 citizens, requires that Internet search services remove information deemed \"inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant.\" Failure to do so can result in fines. Google will need to build up an \"army of removal experts\" in each of the 28 European Union countries, including those where Google does not have operations, the source said.
