This thoughtful article at The New Yorker, The Solace of Obilvion, asks the question: do we have the right to be "forgotten" on the Internet? It explores efforts to have Google remove links to information that are
"inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation
to the purposes for which they were processed and in the light of time
that has elapsed.'
It makes interesting points about
the differing esteem in which Americans and Europeans hold free speech
and privacy, and it explores the notion that Google is no longer just a
"card catalog."
