The search engine is considering placing an alert at the bottom of
each page where it has removed links in the wake of the landmark "right
to be forgotten" ruling last month.
The decision by Europe's highest court allows people living in Europe
to ask for links to "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant"
material to be removed from search results, although it will still be
available on the original web page.
Jodie Ginsberg, chief executive of Index on Censorship,
said: "The fact that Google plans to add 'flags' to search links it has
removed does nothing to tackle the fundamental problem with the 'right
to be forgotten' ruling - which is the complete absence of legal
oversight in this process.
"We remain deeply concerned about a ruling that opens the door to a
censoring of the past without any proper checks and balances."
