Poor Google has to put up with the childish whims of the EU.

And from what I understand the BBC is cataloguing and making all the removed links available to the general public.

BBC is cataloguing only its own pages that are removed from Google searches.

Really? Well that's good but I'm sure that means a huge percentage of the content is still going to be erased without being catalogued.

I can understand why people want this done… but is it really practical or even feasible to ask a company like Google to remove links on something as big and interconnected as the Internet.

Nothing on Google should be removed, if it is on the Internet, it stays on the Internet. And, let's be honest, if you did something "awkward" that is on the net now, nobody will find it, I mean, who would search that thing?

I think the internet should be an archive of human knowledge. Removing things because they're "no longer relevant" is a bit absurd if you ask me.

It's basically just ddg, yahoo and bing. That said I find it hard to believe google is the only one being targeted (although the article only specifies them).

I use DuckDuckGo sometimes.

DDG is really great, especially their bang searches, and I almost use it exclusively, but most of their results are from other search engines, so if those search engines start taking stuff down and removing links, DDG will suffer as well.

I gave a sincere try with duckduckgo. It works well for everyday stuff like searching wikipedia and news, but it was really unhelpful for anything code related. As soon as you get even remotely specific with your question, it fails you, whereas google still works like a champ. I'll give it another try in a year maybe.
