Is tying up sometime, stabbing him on the stomach and beating his head with a hammer past of those mistakes that young people make? Because an European Court has already decided that the murderer also has a right to be forgotten under this law.

You mustn't judge a law only by its best results, but by all of them, and particularly by its unintended consequences.



A murder or felony is never spent under rehabilitation acts and thus the status of it never changes or expires. The judgement addressed the relevancy of information according to time, and time doesn't make murder less relevant. Of course Google would be fine to continue to return this in their results. Did you read the judgement?
