Google doesn't control all websites - to get them to take it down you will need to ask the owner of each site your info is on.

Google EU is now legally required to "forget" certain info on request, meaning you can apply to them to request not to show up in search results, although it is still available direct from any sites it may be on.
Don't know if that is being rolled out worldwide though.

Best bet is don't let it get there to start with... (or take Eric Schmit's advice and change your name :/ )

1383919 2014-09-14 21:56:00 Yeah basically, the age-old saying "Once it's out onto the internet, it's out there for good" rings true. In many cases, you're out of luck sorry. Chilling_Silence (9)

You are being tracked on the internet, whether you like it or not.
Theres a good chance ALL your emails are being 'scanned' as well

What you really need to do is either: live with companies collecting data on what you do on the internet, or cut the cable & dont use it.
Its not just google collecting & sharing data.

But they can't make people remove info. They either will or they won't, and trying to track down every last reference is petty impossible.

Just move on......no-one will care in 20 years.
