The BBC intends to list BBC links which were taken off Google because of the EU decision on the "right to be forgotten".

Since a European Court of Justice ruling last year, individuals have the right to request that search engines remove certain web pages from their search results. Those pages usually contain personal information about individuals.

Following the ruling, Google removed a large number of links from its search results, including some to BBC web pages, and continues to delist pages from BBC Online.

The BBC has decided to make clear to licence fee payers which pages have been removed from Google's search results by publishing this list of links.

    That's only if they make the effort to check and if they make it using the right keywords. Not all "forgotten" pages are completely forgotten, some are just dis-associated from specific keywords in the index.
