On that story by Fred_EM, my hat off and respect for that ISP, no BS excuses should be accepted for revealing personal data, and taking things people say on chat serious and using that is BS, and if someone wants to kill themselves then it's their friends and family and local council that should try to talk them out of it, and if there's none then let it be and accept it.
Those results for "search engines" are a bit iffy, if you do the same in bing for instance you get the kind of results you'd expect (including expecting them on google) namely articles on the subject of search engines and discussions about them and not some fake results that are just there to show they mention the competition.
So yeah I'm a bit disappointed with google about that, I expect more.
The EU should not stick its nose into things that they do not have a clue of.
Search engine algorithms are far beyond what bureaucrats ever will be able to comprehend.
There are alternative search engines, and if someone does not like the search results he happily will use the other services available.
The EU should get out of the way of advanced technology.
In Germany this weekend a 18 year old committed suicide after announced it in a chat room. The German Telekom refused to reveal the address data to the police. The police finally got the address date from a different provider 3 hours after the alarm: the boy already was dead.
Revealing data is no problem for a Telekom provide if the same teeny downloads songs from the internet.
