r In many countries, individuals have the right to request the removal of personal data from online search results. This process is designed to protect individuals' privacy and prevent harm resulting from misinformation or identity theft. However, the effectiveness of these requests can vary greatly, with some cases being approved while others are denied. Regulators must establish clear guidelines and frameworks to govern data removal requests, balancing individual rights with the need for free speech and access to information. Search engines that comply with data removal requests may face reputational risks, while non-compliance could lead to fines or legal action.
