Russia has adopted a law on the so-called "right to be
forgotten," which will require internet search engines to remove
links to personal information at the request of citizens.
Although State Duma deputies claim the legislation mirrors that
of the European Union, industry players strongly oppose the law,
predicting a series of lawsuits, while lawyers say that such a
right is unconstitutional and express concern that the law will
be used by prominent individuals to selectively edit their past.
