- European standoff over search engine data - International Herald Tribune
  Posted by okami from International Herald Tribune
  BERLIN: For more than a year, European data privacy officials have been battling with U.S. Internet search engines, trying to get them to conform to European restrictions on the storage of personal information gleaned from the Web.
  
  Now, as the U.S. titans Google, Microsoft and Yahoo continue to retain personal data beyond the six-month time limit established this year by the European Commission, regulators say their patience is running thin.

Thanks for the reminder. I published a correction to this on the Inteligentaindigena Novajoservo Newsblog here: http://angryindian.blogspot.com/2008/05/department-of-corrections-hitler-doll.html

Prominent European media outlets recently circulated false reports of an Adolf Hitler doll being made in Ukraine. Ukrainian journalist Yevgeny Minko said he was disappointed with how the erroneous story was handled.
DW-WORLD.DE was among the European media sources to publish the falsified report on its English site in April 2008. It has since been removed from the Web site. The editors apologize to those readers who were offended by the publication of the article.
