    Max Schrems Costeja case in Spain,

    Both set up the ground for the Right to be Forgotten to be born, and also the right of the data subject to request deletion from indexed sites. Such as Google. And this directly in my residence country (EU Based since this falls under the GDPR scope) but basically Mr Costeja was granted the right to pose a formal petition to the Spanish Google office (not finally considered a sucursal) and not directed to the Irish headquarters, as Google argued. So yes, we have a right to be forgotten… Just try and Excercise it towards Google and you might end up in front of the EU Comission :S. Talk about evil corps…
