Google says it acknowledges some people want 'right to be forgotten'

Corporation says it is trying to see things from 'a more European perspective' after receiving 220,000 requests for delisting in its search engine, but reveals 60% have been rejected

Google has acknowledged it needs to "try and see things from a more European perspective" as it acknowledges criticism over its handling of the "right to be forgotten" case.

Now known as "the right to delist", the case saw Google lose to a Spanish lawyer who objected to out-of-date and potentially harmful information about him appearing high up on Google's search results for his name. The European Court of Justice found in favour of the lawyer, Mario Costeja Gonzalez, in May 2014.
