Have no idea how the internet works.

Much less Google's lack of control over the content of the tubes.

But he claimed that when he had asked the firm to re-programme its technology to ensure it did not show up at all in searches about him it had refused as "a matter of principle" even though it was "technically feasible".

"I think you cannot underestimate that if someone puts a picture on the web that they shouldn't, that will go on forever unless action is taken," he said.
The guy wants Google to filter on his name, from what the article says. It's perfectly doable but, as the article states, Google refuses on principle.

I've wondered how long it would be before Google was forced to do this and I think it won't be too much longer.

It'd be fun if they said Ok, we'll filter out your name. And everything you're related to just in case. So now, noone can search for you, your companies, or anything that may be associated to you in any way.

Eh, that's different.

"Make available a way to delete posts" is not the same as "Make Google do Magic"

Even though places like Twitter allow you to delete posts, that doesn't mean someone else hasn't already saved your **** elsewhere.

Lawmakers do not understand how the internet works.

Heheh, that's not the only thing they totally fail to understand.

I've quoted it before, and I'll quote it again:

[...] time and space have a different meaning on the web. Add to this the truth that everything that 'happens' is carved forever: try to pull something 'off the web' and you will soon realize that you wont be able to do it. Everything you write and publish will defy eternity, carved in electrons: the very moment you put something on the web, someone, somewhere, will make a copy out of it. It is bound to reappear, somewhere sometime: indestructible and redoutable powers of the void.
