Group demands that Google offer users the 'right to be forgotten'
A group on Tuesday filed a complaint with the Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) arguing that Google should allow users to
request that information about them be taken down from the search
engine. In its complaint, Consumer Watchdog says Google is
misleading consumers in the United States by saying it is devoted
to privacy without offering the so-called "right to be
forgotten." European users have the right to request that right
under a 2014 court ruling.

Before I even got that far in the story, I just *knew* this was going to
be from the reliable Google Haters at Consumer Watchdog -- who in this
case seem incapable of understanding the First Amendment to the U.S.
Constitution. Sorry guys.
