b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 google has agreed to remove more than 170,000 websites from its search
results.
The search engine giant has received nearly 145,000 requests to take down
497,000 websites in the wake of a major court ruling in Europe earlier this
year, it said in a report on Friday. Google has complied with about 41
percent of those requests.
Among the deleted links are decades-old news stories containing the name of
an Italian woman whose husband committed murder, an article about a Belgian
person who participated in a contest as a minor and some pages containing
the names of crime victims.
The company has refused to take down links to stories about people arrested
for financial crimes, reports about embarrassing content posted online and
articles about a man in the United Kingdom who was fired for sex crimes
committed on the job, Google claimed.
Facebook was the site most impacted by the so-called “right to be forgotten
” — which allows people to force companies like Google to take down links
to websites that are “inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant” —
followed closely by Profile Engine, a website that aggregates information
from social media websites. YouTube, which is owned by Google, was third on
the list. |
