Title: Remove details from Google search results Post by: Don007 on July 06, 2014, 10:51:20 PM Hi Bitcointalkers,
I know it's possible these days to remove specific search results of Google that show up when you search specific keywords. When you Google my real name, you will see some personal details on top of the search results I would really like to be deleted. It's a very old post of me on a (now inactive) forum, which has been edited by the moderator at that time. Does anyone know how I can get these details out of the search results of Google? I've e-mailed all the related party's to this forum but none is answering (neither reacting), and now this search result is really harming me in my real life (as I'm sure you can believe if you know where this post at this forum has been changed to). Title: Re: Remove details from Google search results Post by: pedrog on July 06, 2014, 11:07:37 PM It only affects EU countries, google.com is not censored, and there's a message some results were omitted in the country specific search, so removing that entry might not solve your problem...

The forum I'm talking about is completely dead since many years now, but it still shows up at Google. Probably because people click on it while searching my name (because it's on top of the search results) and, by that, it still gets clicks.

Don't you just have to contact Google somehow and request the entry to be removed?

It's all about an old inactive forum, not related to BitcoinTalk but I thought there would be someone over here that can help me. I don't know who to contact, or how to contact Google about that. I've read some information about this feature (to remove results) but it appears they only move results if it contains really important personal details etc. Title: Re: Remove details from Google search results Post by: pedrog on July 06, 2014, 11:38:15 PM Ok, I guess you can contact the European Data Protection people or search their website, the answer you're looking for might be somewhere in there.
