Hi Janet This appears to me to be very tiny problem blown out of all proportion First the complainant has to know its there in the first place To have an entry removed someone has to make a complaint and it be upheld, the amount of people doing so are very few I would suggest, certainly for the kind of thing alluded to Not everything is on the internet in the first place, and those that are, are probably derived from other records I would be concerned at people having the ability to have recent events removed or hidden, regarding criminality for example but for historic events of a few people, it doesn't really concern me, as the information although hidden by google will still be available elsewhere It strikes me that google are trying to make a fuss over a few things to try and ridicule it, because ultimately they don't want to have to do it at all as it costs them Since time began, man has published those items they want others to see, whilst hiding those things they don't want others to know, nothing has or will change as far as I can see Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 31/08/2014 08:35, Janet Crawford via wrote: > This will be a kind of longish message but bear with me as it has to do > with Irish history. > There was a Spaniard and he had taken out a mortgage and then he defaulted > on it but eventually paid it off and no one was hurt financially.

Hi Nivard, It is not Google making the fuss, it is me! This turns out to be not rare at all, and many searches I have done lately respond with "The Message". This got me angry that older history is being washed away on the internet and I have filed complaints with both the Data Protection Unit of the EU and also with Google. Yes, the information will be available somewhere else, but that access might mean an all day trip at expense up to Dublin and hope to find it somewhere in the day in some unknown book. I don't mind the Spaniard having his mortgage data removed, but I don't want to see 200-300 year-old landlord evictions blithely removed. Don't want info on Tithe War murders blithely removed. It is my history they are now hiding!

Hi Janet You misunderstand my reply Google do not want to do these changes as it costs them money, so they are doing the most silly and obscure to try and say to the powers that be how its not such a good idea, in an effort to get out of doing any Now I use google every day all day and I have yet to come across one of the "the message" flags So are you sure the cause is actually google? Apart from the aforesaid Google trying to get out of it by doing blocks on strange data, I cannot see anyone asking that the information you suggest be blocked It strikes me as you may be misinterpreting something Could the block be for copyright reasons ? Do you have an example of an item of information you think is blocked?
