BANGALORE: The California based company Google has launched a service where the users can request the links to be removed, which they find inappropriate or objectionable. This action comes after the European court ruling which gave people the ‘right to be forgotten’.

According to the reports, Google had made a web form where the users can submit their requests but stopped specifying when the links would be taken down. The form includes a slot for the inappropriate link and space to explain the reason for it. Apparently to make a request, a person must submit a digital copy of their official identification, and select the region in the list of a drop down menu which specifies the areas the request for the service applies.

Google said it has gathered a committee of senior executives and experts to craft out a long term approach to deal with the barrage requests from people. The decision by the court of European Union specifies that the internet search services should remove the links which are termed as ‘inappropriate or ‘irrelevant and has received thousands of requests after the order. Failure to do so would result in fines and Google said it was disappointed with the decision.

"To comply with the recent European court ruling, we've made a web form available for Europeans to request the removal of results from our search engine," Google said in a statement.

"The court's ruling requires Google to make difficult judgments about an individual's right to be forgotten and the public's right to know. We're creating an expert advisory committee to take a thorough look at these issues. We'll also be working with data protection authorities and others as we implement this ruling," Google added.
