I have no sympathy for Google whatsoever. Now that they put themselves as censors in chief for all things conservative (from guns to conservative websites), I will not lift a finger to support those bastards even if they are in the right.
In this case, I sympathize with the Spaniard. Regular people should not have their lives destroyed by trouble they had sometimes decades ago. He has not agreed to have his personal data published, and there should be a mechanism to protect oneself from being followed forever by something that puts you in a bad light, but is not even illegal.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts,and (I suspect) other states as well,has a website that contains every single real estate transaction over a certain period (which varies from county to county).Many of these transactions involve deaths,divorces,bankruptcy filings and criminal and civil lawsuits...which can be seen on the website.One of the many important features of any advanced,civilized society,IMO, is "open records".Politicians,for example,*hate* open records...as do criminals.They hate it for very obvious reasons.Think about it....you'll all understand.
With this particular guy I could see why the record should be deleted if it was inaccurate but otherwise....tough luck,Pedro!
