Google was fined with €7,000,000 by the Swedish Data Protection Authority due to failing to adequately comply with its obligations regarding the right of data subjects to have their search results removed from Google search. The Data Protection Authority of Sweden had already completed an investigation on Google in 2017 where it investigated how the company dealt with individuals' requests to be removed from search results. At that time, the Data Protection Authority instructed Google to be more pro-active in executing these removal requests. In 2018 the Authority initialed a further investigation after it was reported that Google did not remove search results related to individuals even after the earlier instructions in 2017 to do so. The Authority also questioned Google's practice of informing website owners about which search results Google had removed, specifically which link (search result) has been removed and who was behind the removal request.
