Google removes 12 BBC News links in ‘right to be forgotten’

Fact checked by The People's Voice Community

Google has removed a total of 12 BBC News stories from some search results since controversial EU “right to be forgotten” laws came into force in May.

The stories range from coverage of a court case on bomb-making in Northern Ireland 13 years ago to a dispute over a lost dog.

Google notified the BBC of each of the removals, but it did not disclose who had made the removal requests.

The stories will no longer appear in the results of certain search terms.
