people who want to be forgotten in order to scrub their links and prevent future ones linking to that same information to exist in the future. That in itself will be really time consuming and invasive for the people who want to be forgotten. Or hire people who will search for links to be scrubbed continuously. It might be cheaper for Google to just pull out of the European market entirely.
