Summary:

Government action limiting the publication of truthful speech, let alone such speech about judicial proceedings, is nothing less than a form of rewriting history. And as is frequently the case with censorship, it is contagious. In 2015, The Telegraph, an English newspaper, summarized 100 articles it had published that had been removed from search results in the year since the European Court of Justice articulated the right to be forgotten. They included articles about the convictions of individuals of crimes and the acquittals of others; various investigations, arrests and litigations; the conduct of police officers, teachers and other employees; and a wide array of conduct that had been deemed newsworthy by the newspaper and the publication of which had not been held to violate any British law.
