Clojure-inspired concepts? An upvote from me, despite the hide-out in other languages :)

Isn't raw quince hard as a rock?

Ah les Francais. Show le Google our force. 100.000 EUR fine. Regardless of whether the decision is right or wrong, the real question is: will it work. Will they make Google and other companies submit with such methods?

Unless Google wants do withdraw its business from France and potentially all Europe, it will comply. I think it is quite probable it will comply, it is in its financial interests.

Google has fought unreasonable Chinese demands, and Google has lost a lot of Chinese market share as a result. Perhaps Google will also not bow to unreasonable EU demands.

"Right to be forgotten" is a euphemism for censorship, and censorship is anathema to the Internet. That's the beginning and end of the matter. Stop legislating fantasies.

Censorship is bad, but "right to be forgotten" is a very different thing. Please read this document: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/files/factsheets...

Censor: to examine in order to suppress or delete anything considered objectionable.

The reason someone's search results are considered 'objectionable' is because they consider those results private. The private citizen, in the case, is the censor. The french government is just the enforcing body behind that censorship.

You are using a general definition "removing objectionable information" here but most people, when reading "censorship" will understand it refers to a different concept like "deplorable practice of suppressing communication between people by force". You cannot, in general, put personal information regarding an individual in place of that communication and call exercising right to control personal data censorship. The right to be forgotten does not mean anything objectionable can be removed and it does not apply to public figures, companies or corporations. It only applies to individuals and search queries containing their name. In special cases the objected search result is important to the public, the right to be forgotten does not apply. So no, it is not censorship.

This is very useful! How do they think to earn money with it?

Thanks! I don't have any plans to monetize this to be honest. I built this because I had the need for this myself and, if people like it, it will be a nice exercise in maintaining something that works well under stress :).
