Google Deletion Complaints to Be Policed by EU Privacy Panel

Google Inc.’s attempts to handle requests from citizens that want to use their new-found “right to be forgotten” will be examined by a special taskforce of European privacy watchdogs.

The panel will look at how regulators should react to complaints from citizens about Google’s management of requests to delete online details, according to a member of the so-called Article 29 group of privacy watchdogs, which approved the step at a meeting in Brussels today.
