EU backs 'right to be forgotten' in Google privacy case

An EU court has ruled that Google must amend some search results at the request of ordinary people in a test of the so-called "right to be forgotten".

The European Union Court of Justice said links to "irrelevant" and outdated data should be erased on request.

The company said the ruling was "disappointing".
