Google shows good faith but those wanting to be forgotten must wait

 Internet company's 'initial effort' in releasing form for those wishing to be erased from search will have to explain in detail.

[...] But, as the company candidly admitted on the web form it has now published for users, Google is still "working to finalise its implementation of removal requests under European data protection laws". The form was only an "initial effort" and Google would be working with national data protection authorities to refine its approach "over the coming months".

 So if you don't want the world to know about your misspent youth may have to wait a little longer. Even then, there's no guarantee that the slate will be wiped clean. For one thing, you won't be able to delete the original web page in which information about you appears — the blog, the newspaper story, the embarrassing selfie.
