Google has received nearly 145,000 requests for information removal since it started accepting requests May 29, after the European Court of Justice’s right to be forgotten ruling, said a transparency report published Friday (http://bit.ly/1snEpBQ). From those requests, Google has considered 497,695 URLs for removal, ultimately removing 41.8 percent of them. Facebook has had the most URLs, 3,332, removed from search results, followed by data crawler ProfileEngine.com, YouTube and popular European social network Badoo.
