For the EU requirement to check if information is in the public interest, we have to have guards against the system being abused, such as wealthy people removing information about themselves.

This implies some sort of public record - to provide transparency of the requests and check for abuse. This could not be indexed either because it would reveal the information that people were trying to stop being revealed.

Dilemma.

Clear public interest, request denied. The EU ruling works.

Edit: There is a huge gulf between Hitler and a juvenile crime or since-paid debt.

Resorting to Hitler right away? How about a person who cannot a job because of a certain stupid act from 30 years ago that keeps showing up on Google search?

Even credit reports are barred from reporting older than x years acts.
