Other search engines? (Score: 1, Insightful) by Anonymous Coward on 2015-10-06 16:44 (#PN3S) It makes me wonder how closely other search engines are being monitored. Personally I stop using Google long ago.Additionally I have mixed feelings about this anyway. Forgetting is part of time healing all wounds and helps people change their ways. However what "right to be forgotten" does someone like Richard Nixon (or his heirs now) have for everyone to forget his poor choices? It's infused in history and describes certain parts of society that endure. Re: Other search engines?

Does that mean that no one in Europe would be able to search for information on him?Stupid French laws. Re: Other search engines?
