“A top European Union court ruled in favor of the “right to be forgotten” principle earlier this year, thus opening the floodgates for people who want certain web pages and search results to be taken down. And now a pianist is using the “right to be forgotten” to request The Washington Post take down a bad review from a few years ago.
The Post revealed just days ago that pianist Dejan Lazic reached out to them and, invoking the right to be forgotten, asked them to take down a less-than-flattering review filed back in 2010 by Post writer Anne Midgette. If you put Lazic’s name into Google, the first result is his website, and the second is thePost review.” *
