"Internet Privacy Is None Of Your Business"

On last night's episode of his HBO show, Last Week Tonight, former Daily Show correspondent, John Oliver, did a bit about a European court ruling regarding persons' right to have their searches "forgotten" by search engines. The bit went as follows:

John Oliver: "Let's talk about something else: the Internet. In Europe this week, there was some potentially significant news."
[cuts to quoted news clip]

Male reporter: "It is said that the Internet never forgets...until now, that is. In a huge ruling, the highest court in Europe ruled that Google and other search operators like it must delete certain search results, if they are requested. They're calling it, 'The Right To Be Forgotten.'"
[back to John Oliver]

John Oliver: "The Right To Be Forgotten...which incidentally is definitely my favorite non-existent Morrissey song.

Re: Morrissey soundtracks new PETA advert


No time at all for PETA. People with a little learning about some matters, and an absolute lack of knowledge about the things they want to preach. My experience of them is that they haven't the first clue about what they want to do, and have fallen under Newkirk's spell. I have no time for them.
