Guardian commentator upset that Google removes items under RTBF orders from EU
"EU's right to be forgotten: Guardian articles have been hidden by Google"
(Guardian): http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/02/eu-right-to-be-forgotten-guardian-google
"Publishers must fight back against this indirect challenge to
press freedom, which allows articles to be 'disappeared'.
Editorial decisions belong with them, not Google."

OK Guardian guys, get this straight. You have a gripe about this? I
don't like it either. It's state-sponsored censorship. It's the
slippery slope to totalitarian information control. But direct your
wrath at your own EU bureaucrats who invented this abomination,
because they're the ones forcing Google to do this, and I think I can
safely say that Google doesn't like it any more than you do. So lay
off Google, and get the damned EU politicos who came up with this crap
to understand how much damage they're doing to the world. Thanks.
