Google’s privacy battle in Europe, between the “right to be forgotten” and the “right to know,” has only just begun.On Friday, the company announced a basic framework to comply with a landmark ruling by Europe’s top court that requires Google and other search providers to consider individuals’ requests to remove links that they say violate their privacy.The framework included a new online form for making such requests, which prompted strong interest in its first day.
