    I dont think that’s accurate. The ruling is that a result for the footage wouldn’t be shown – if you have a site with the footage in question playing on it Google cannot interfere with that, it may not list your site in the search results.
    Having said that,your site would appear if you searched Google.com

    I’m so glad I had my teenage years in the 90′s, no incriminating evidence on the internet :)-

    What’s needed isn’t a right to be forgotten. What’s needed is a right to have actions deemed irrelevant after time. Much as we cannot discriminate as to age, sex or race, maybe we should add “old mistakes” to that list.
