A European court has stated that Google must amend some search results containing links to outdated, irrelevant information as requested by "ordinary people," according to The Washington Post. The way that Google and other search engines compile and present links suggests they do have control over individuals’ private data, the court found, and under European law, individuals have a right to control their private data. Therefore, users can request that irrelevant or wrong personal information be removed from search engines. Google argues that forcing it to remove data would be censorship, and it doesn’t control private data but just links to information that is already available online.
