BBC to publish 'right to be forgotten' removals list

From BBC News - Technology

"The BBC is to publish a continually updated list of its articles removed from Google under the controversial "right to be forgotten" rule.

The ruling allows people to ask Google to remove some types of information about them from its search index.

But editorial policy head David Jordan told a public meeting, hosted by Google, that the BBC felt some of its articles had been wrongly hidden.

He said greater care should be given to the public's "right to remember".

Following the ruling, Google set up a form on its site allowing people to request which links should be taken down.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ) said links that were "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant" should not appear when a specific search - usually a person's name - was made."

The UK’s Faster Payment service has been highlighted in a recent new item by the BBC. More than a year after launch, the system seems to be effective in getting payments from one domestic bank to another much faster than before. But (isn’t it funny how there always is a “but”?) all is not as rosy as UK payments authorities say it is. The BBC is fretting over a number of problems like inconsistent participation, secret limits and more. Read their report and concerns at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/8166676.stm .
