Prominente wehren sich: Search removal request under European Data Protection law

Er hatte es angekündigt und nun hat er es offenbar wahrgemacht. Wegen der fortgesetzten Verletzung seiner Persönlichkeitsrechte durch den Suchmaschinenanbieter Google hat ein bekannter deutscher Fernsehmoderator unter Berufung auf das sogenannte Alzheimer-Urteil des EuGH einen Löschantrag bei dem kalifornischen Internetgiganten gestellt. Das Dokument ist PPQ zugespielt worden, wir dokumentieren es nachfolgend.

A recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union found that certain users can ask search engines to remove results for queries that include their name where those results are inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive in relation to the purposes for which they were processed.

In implementing this decision, we will assess each individual request and attempt to balance the privacy rights of the individual with the public’s right to know and distribute information. When evaluating your request, we will look at whether the results include outdated information about you, as well as whether there’s a public interest in the information—for example, information about financial scams, professional malpractice, criminal convictions, or public conduct of government officials.

If you have a removal request, please fill out the form below. Please note that this form is an initial effort. We look forward to working closely with data protection authorities and others over the coming months as we refine our approach.

This URL behauptet, meine „Verbrechen sind so unfassbar wie der Mensch dahinter“, zudem, ich hätte “jahrelang morgens mit dem Expander“ geübt, um meine Armmuskeln zu stärken, damit ich “den Vorbeimarsch der SA-Kolonnen möglichst lange Zeit mit ausgetrecktem Arm abnehmen konnte“. Ich sei „in kleinsten, materiell beengten Verhältnissen aufgewachsen“, hätte mir „maßgeschneiderte Anzüge liefern“ lassen, hätte teure Autos geliebt und „nicht zuletzt mit den Einnahmen aus "Mein Kampf" Millionen gescheffelt“.

To prevent fraudulent removal requests from people impersonating others, trying to harm competitors, or improperly seeking to suppress legal information, we need to verify identity. Please attach a legible copy of a document that verifies your identity (or the identity of the person whom you are authorized to represent, as well as proof of your authorization). The document does not need to be a government-issued ID or passport. You may obscure parts of the document (e.g., numbers) as long as the remaining information identifies you. Google will use this information solely to help us authenticate your request and will delete the copy within a month of closing your removal request case except as required by law. *

I represent that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the person affected by the web pages identified, or I am authorized by that person to submit this request. *
