Forums › Web Site › News › Notice of removal from Google Search #1: "My Personal Heroin Addiction Story"
I’ve just received the following block notice from Google.
Due to a request under data protection law in Europe, we are no longer able to show one or more pages from your site in our search results in response to some search queries for names or other personal identifiers. Only results on European versions of Google are affected. No action is required from you.
These pages have not been blocked entirely from our search results, and will continue to appear for queries other than those specified by individuals in the European data protection law requests we have honored. Unfortunately, due to individual privacy concerns, we are not able to disclose which queries have been affected.
Please note that in many cases, the affected queries do not relate to the name of any person mentioned prominently on the page. For example, in some cases, the name may appear only in a comment section.
The following URLs have been affected by this action:
I could understand if this was some teenage kid or young adult making a mistake, but the dude actually put up a harm reduction blog at one point. also it makes things worse for these people; any good detective looks for what data is missing as well as what is present… Plus if whoever was worried had contacted us first; we’d wipe the profile and move the thread to a hidden section if appropriate and they’d disappear off the google search anyway…
Right. All they had to do was ask for the content to be edited.
