People can ask Google
to delete sensitive information from its Internet search
results, Europe's top court said on Tuesday.
The case underlines the battle between advocates of free
expression and supporters of privacy rights, who say people
should have the "right to be forgotten" meaning that they should
be able to remove their digital traces from the Internet.
The ruling by the Luxembourg-based European Union Court of
Justice (ECJ) came after a Spanish man complained to the Spanish
data protection agency that an auction notice of his repossessed
home on Google's search results infringed his privacy.
