The laws and guidelines area clear. The companies are to adhere to them. I have no problem in restating exactly what the companies are required to do. Individuals must have a right to apply for the right to be forgotten. However, it is very clear where it is relevant to the public interest, including previous convictions, that has to be applied. If companies are not applying this, a complaint can be made. I am clear what the laws and rules are and how the companies should be applying them. I will have no problem restating that when I meet with the companies in the coming weeks.
