Google Trawls Europe to Search for Right-to-Be Forgotten Answers

Google Inc. is hitting the road in a quest for answers to questions left hanging by European Union judges who delivered an Internet “right to be forgotten.”

The world’s largest search provider, which opposes the EU Court of Justice May judgment that told it to remove certain personal information from search results on request, plans public hearings in seven European cities, kicking off in Madrid on Sept. 9. Google’s critics say it’s a self-serving attempt to steer a debate that belongs to regulators and courts.
