The Spanish government has ordered Google to delete information about 90 individuals from its search engine indexes, according to media reports.
Spain said it believes that the individuals have a right to be forgotten, but Google has said that requiring search engines to ignore some information would negatively impinge on free speech, according to the New York Times. A court will determine whether the individuals' details should be deleted.
To me Google's argument seems pretty stupid, aren't they impinging someone else's right to privacy when they include information in search without any authorization from the person in question?
