Bad analogy for several reasons:

- phone numbers are not personal, embarrassing stories

- a phone book is a primary source, but a search engine is not

> phone numbers are not personal, embarrassing stories

Right, which makes the right to be forgotten even more important than the right to be removed from a phone book.

When you're disputing an analogy, the discrepancies have to actually be relevant and support your point. You can just say "you can't compare A and B because A is not B."

A phone book is not a primary source, the phone company's registry is.
