Over 280,000 people have asked Google for a right to be forgotten and more than a million pages to be wiped from search engine's results

According to a report on DailyMail, more than 280,000 people have asked Google for the right to be forgotten and also making a request for more than  million pages of information be wiped from search engine's result. This is coming on the heels of the law passed by the European Court of Justice in May 2014, stating that Google must remove links to websites that include content that is 'inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant'.
Most of the request are said to have been from ordinary people trying to erase embarrassing information from the internet such as posts on social networks or online dating. Others include killers, rapists and terrorists who desires to hide their criminal past. Out of the 1.1 million link removal requests, about 602,000 have been deleted.
