this seems completely at odds with the US's "right to know"

I think they are aimed at different things.

Right to know is about public interest.  Right to privacy is about personal privacy.  It should be fine for a private individual to demand a clean up of personal data held on various websites or an opt out on search results.

as far as i'm concerned,.. so long as the linked article is actually factual that goes into our living history.  i don't want anyone censoring public records. 

e.g. - should all links to OJ simpsons murder trial be deleted?  he was found not guilty so that entire trial is "no longer relavant"?  should he be able to opt out of those search results?
