You'll note this is the privacy that Eric Schmidt already enjoys, or at least believes he should enjoy, whether it's using lawyers to get one his many mistresses' blog yanked from the internet [1], or when he tried to get his political donations pulled from google search:

   Mr. Schmidt, Google’s outspoken chief who will be replaced by Mr. Page on 
   Monday, has made public gaffes when speaking about privacy. Mr. Levy reveals 
   that he has made gaffes inside the company, too. Mr. Schmidt asked that 
   Google remove from the search engine information about a political donation 
   he had made. Sheryl Sandberg, a Google executive who is now Facebook’s chief 
   operating officer, told him that was unacceptable. [2]

And of course, there is always his infamous suggestion that people should change their name when they turn eighteen, in part to avoid google reporting every dumb thing they did as a child.

It's hard to say whether he's a sociopath or an entitled asshole, so I suggest compromise: he's an entitled sociopathic asshole.

I don't see why it is Google's responsibility to act as a censor. After all if there is truly a right to be forgotten (which is wonderful news to a great number of criminals and future politicians), you should go after the origin of the information, not the index.
