Since the launch of its Form 29 May, European Internet users have asked Google to delist nearly 500,000 Web pages. The search engine has agreed to remove 41.8% of its site. The French champions remain regarding the number of applications.
Google has added queries right to be forgotten in its transparency report. October 10, 2014, that is to say, about four months after the launch of its official application form, the search engine has close to 145,000 queries regarding delisting 497,695 URLs.
Californian giant agreed to dereference 41.8% targeted by European Internet pages. The company also removed 51.5% of the 89 168 pages that the French wished to abolish search results. With 28,912 completed forms, the hexagon is the European country that puts the most requests to Google, ahead of Germany and the UK.
The search engine also lists sites most affected by the delisting requests. The top 5, there is Facebook, followed Profileengine, Youtube, badoo and groups.google.com.
In May 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled in disfavor Google in a case against a Spanish citizen. The Court held that a person can ask a search engine to dereference web pages on it, provided you have a valid reason.
The responsibility for the balance between the right to the oblivion and right to information returns to Google. In most cases, this is not a problem, but sometimes the group is struggling to decide.
However, the figures presented in the report of transparency are tiny compared to the delisting requests from holders of copyright. Last month, 4,785 beneficiaries have requested the withdrawal of more than 29 million URLs.
