It seems Google is now allowing people to request links/sites be taken down...

Do you think any Sci links will be deleted??

Do you think any anti-Sci links will be deleted.....like maybe ESMB?

This could be quite a battle of requests to take down links that anybody doesn't want on the internet. Could be a big mess.

Google attempts to comply with European laws. IF that leads to Google no longer providing wanted and needed information, another (presumably non-European) search engine business will take over and do the job.

All in all, it'll be just a minor inconvenience, until the Internet has found a way to deal with it, which it probably already has.
