The Prime Minister last week ordered further investigation after it was revealed the Home Office lost or destroyed a potentially explosive dossier given to Home Secretary Sir Leon Brittan by the late campaigning Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens.
The government does seem to have a knack for "losing" things that are vital to important investigations.
Aaaaah! Just did a Google for Scallywag Magazine which, a year ago, brought up some rather well known names. Now it doesn't. Note at the bottom of every page:
In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed N result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at ChillingEffects.org.
Now we know why that ruling really went through. Mind you, click on links at chillingeffects.org and you can often see who the complainant is anyway so not quite sure what the ruling achieves.

Indeed, the telegraph often has a link to 'things removed from google searches'. One can find out all sorts of stuff that would never have seen the light of day looking at that.
And then with more details you can just do a better search and find the more obscure links they haven't asked to be removed. This ruling probably works ok for low profile people mentioned once or twice in a blog or local paper, not much use for major figures where the details are repeated across the internet.
