What is your main flagship? Your neat appearance? Your blooming garden? Your membership in the city Council? All wrong. Their most important figurehead, search engines like Google, because they are the lightest, fastest and most used way to get a first impression of you as a potential employee, life partner or business partner. It is rational and understandable that people want to have a say in what other people get when entering your Name to see in the network. It is also fair and right to give them a certain amount of control to admit: some of it was brought to the (social) media unfairly in a bad light, or even a dirt campaign, not coated, should be to him in the form of search results of a life-long hang on. And even undisputed misconduct must eventually expire even if no historical interest.
However, most of the dishes with the “right to be Forgotten” more economical, because the Internet is not just your own front yard that everyone can shape according to his personal ideas, and the hoped-for impact free. The line between legitimate image and digital geschichtsk suffered it is narrow and for the publication of defamatory or otherwise illegal content, the search engines are not primarily responsible.
