If Google can handle the millions of requests it gets to take down content that infringes copyright, it should be able to handle the few requests it gets to enforce the EU’s “right to be forgotten”, according to Viviane Reding, the European commissioner for justice, fundamental rights and citizenship.Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Reding said that “there are relatively little numbers of requests” to take down information owing to the newly granted right to be forgotten, but that there are “some million requests to take down material because of copyright questions.”
