>I personally hate Google, and avoid their products whenever possible.
You took my quote out of context and ran with that. I said many HNers. Not all HNers.
There is no censorship involved here. Read the EU ruling. The ruling does not prevent Google from indexing personal information. It prevents Google from permanently indexing personal information if it is irrelevant or no longer relevant. Even after said information has been removed from Google's database, it will still be available at the source that Google previously linked too. It's fallacious to pretend that information is being surpressed.
