The "right to be forgotten" has arrived in Asia. According to a report in the Associated Press, a Japansese court has ordered Google to remove search results that "hinted at the man's relations with a criminal organization after he complained his privacy rights were violated."
Europe's highest court made a similar ruling in May; some lawyers say the ruling could lead to the exportation of Europe's privacy laws to the rest of the world.
