Concur however; I would note that many court injunctions and Non-Disclosure Agreements and contracts contain a clause that states that even the existence of that injunction or confidentiality agreement or contract may not be disclosed, and in the case of court orders (made in public court) the search engines at present do not show their existence. So it is possible to do such a thing and it is done at present, this is just an extension of the concept to a 'person's ability to be forgotten' as opposed to a court which has ability to impose financial penalties which hurt usually imposed for 'contempt of court' not for the actual disclosure; however many jurisdictions do not allow such injunctions and their courts will overturn mutual confidentiality agreements even when intense personal detail is trying to be hidden. Thus there is an open judicial war between different jurisdictions and it is on that as well as the technicalities that Google are stating as their case. -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
