New Yorker: "Span Versus The Internet"

But the implications of the law could go beyond the question of
whether Google News is good or bad for publishers. The law troubles
advocates of Internet freedom (and, one imagines, Google and other
Internet companies) because it seems to fit into a broader pattern, in
Europe, of government actions that undermine what is sometimes known
as the "right to link." The best-known example of this is the
decision, in May, by the European Court of Justice, that Europeans
have a right to have links to information about them removed from
search results--the "right to be forgotten," which Jeffrey Toobin
covered for the magazine in September.
