EU appears to be reconsidering its disastrous ad blocking and
dangerous "right to be forgotten" concepts that could wreck the
Internet

"Ministers Express Doubts on Expanding Data Protection Laws"

http://j.mp/13N7xUC  (New York Times)

    "Representatives of Britain, Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands said
     a new online "right to be forgotten" could be used to limit freedom of
     expression, chilling the flow of information on the Web."

Some sanity from the EU on these issues at last?  We shall see.
