A landmark 2014 European court ruling gave people new powers over how they appear in online search results.
Asking search engines to delist outdated personal links is what the EU's 'right to be forgotten' allows. Following a landmark 2014 ruling by the EU's top court, individuals gained the ability to request that a search engine remove links to information about them that has become outdated, irrelevant, or excessive, for searches based on their own name, though the underlying source content elsewhere on the internet may still remain.
Deleting any news article a person dislikes worldwide and erasing one's entire history from the internet both describe a far broader power than the right actually grants, since it is limited to delisting certain search results rather than removing content everywhere.
Because the right only affects what shows up in search results rather than deleting the original source material, courts must constantly weigh a person's request for privacy against the public's interest in accessing information.
