Bing Implements Right To Be Forgotten 64
mpicpp (3454017) writes with news that Bing has joined Google in removing search results upon request by EU citizens. From the article: The company has asked European residents, who want Microsoft to block search results that show on Bing in response to searches of their names, to fill out a four-part online form. Besides the name and country of residence of the person and the details of the pages to be blocked, the form also asks if the person is a public figure or has or expects a role that involves trust, leadership or safety. ... The information provided will help the company "consider the balance" between the applicant's individual privacy interest and the public interest in protecting free expression and the free availability of information, in line with European law, Microsoft said.
You can always visit a non-EU version of Bing to receive uncensored results.

Or is Microsoft just trying to say, "Hey, we have a search engine also. Pay attention to us."
The ruling doesn't name Google specifically. (like, duh) Every search engine would be legally required to implement the "right to be forgotten".
