Following previous reports, Google todya confirmed that it will adapt its approach to delisting search results under the "right to be forgotten" in Europe, in response to discussions with regulators. According to Peter Fleischer, Global Privacy Counsel at Google, the company will implement the change next week. The right to be forgotten - or, more accurately, the "right to delist" - was established by the Court of Justice of the European Union in 2014. It allows Europeans to ask search engines to delist certain links from the set of search results generated by a search query for their name.
At the moment, if someone submits a URL for delisting via Google's webform and the search giant determines that their request meets the criteria set by the Court (the information to be delisted must be inadequate, irrelevant, no longer relevant or excessive, and not in the public interest), then they will delist the URL from the search results generated in response to a search for their name.

Google's current practice is to delist from all European versions of Google Search (like google.de, google.fr, google.co.uk, etc) simultaneously. Starting next week, in addition to the existing practice, Google will also use geolocation signals (like IP addresses) to restrict access to the delisted URL on all Google Search domains, including google.com, when accessed from the country of the person requesting the removal.

For example, if Google decided to delist a URL as a result of a request from someone in the United Kingdom, uers in the UK would not see the URL in search results when searching on any Google Search domain, including google.com. But users outside of the UK could see the URL in search results.
