Well - DP laws have been around since before the world wide web. If it was easy for Scientology to do these things, why don't you show me some examples of it being done?
But the evidence is overwhelmingly against your alarmism. Many of us on this side have been able to request information be corrected or deleted from data controllers for like 25 years - and since you seem to have only just heard about this, it seems the notion that the system is opened for abuse seems false.
Nobody is altering historical facts - they are just saying that if those facts relate to a living person and have an impact on their privacy - then it shouldn't be the case that everybody with an internet access gets to see those facts. Just like I don't get to see your mother's medical records, or your cousin's mental health admissions details or that you didn't pay your cable bill for 3 months in 1999. There is no compelling reason for these historical facts to be presented to the world in a format like google which makes putting disparate bits of information together a near trivial task.
But why would you need to be able to personally identify individuals as part of that evidence gathering? In actual science, unless there is compelling reason, the data is usually stripped of personally identifiable information.
I don't know about charges, but there are some cases where data controllers can charge. This is usually limited to data subject access requests and the allowable fee is nominal ($10 or so).
A Politician's affairs are already established as being in the public interest. A criminal's activities may (or may not) be in the public interest. The government is not a person.
Therefore, these groups would not be able to use this law as it explicitly excludes them.
There is no 'tool' being created, only that Google is being told it must conform to Data Protection laws in Europe if they want to process personal data of European private citizens by either deleting or making unavailable, personal data about you in certain specific cases.
Furthermore - Data protection laws have existing in Europe since the 80s at least. All my adult life I have been able to demand that data controllers amend, delete and reveal the personal information they hold about me. I've not noticed this have any particularly deleterious affect on the news media in the last 25 years.
Scientology is not a person. Therefore data that is stored and processed about Scientology is not personal data.
the Court holds that a fair balance should be sought in particular between that interest and the data subject’s fundamental rights, in particular the right to privacy and the right to protection of personal data. The Court observes in this regard that, whilst it is true that the data subject’s rights also override, as a general rule, that interest of internet users, this balance may however depend, in specific cases, on the nature of the information in question and its sensitivity for the data subject’s private life and on the interest of the public in having that information, an interest which may vary, in particular, according to the role played by the data subject in public life . Can you think of some compelling reason for Google to inform anyone on the planet that searches for some ordinary person's name that they had financial problems and couldn't pay their mortgage in the 90s? Or that they had an embarrassing illness? That they were sexually assaulted?
My grandparents fled Ukraine the last time the Russians came. Over the years, people look at my surname and ask 'Are you Russian?' - even though I've never even travelled to Ukraine, my blood starts growing in temperature. I recently spoke with some Hungarians of my age and older about this subject. They told me they could get me one step closer to feeling my ancestor's pain. They took me to a former Soviet gulag, and showed me to a cell that was a little less than 5 ft tall and was designed to have several inches of water in it permanently.
The Cold War might be over, but the animosity has very much not had chance to go. Another 100 years or so. Assuming Russia doesn't....do what it's doing.
I've destroyed orders of magnitude more glass containers than I have eaten them.
The goal isn't to derive energy, but acquire resources or destroy barriers. Silicon and Oxygen are pretty useful as are sodium and calcium potentially. And whatever is useless, can be discarded. The mythical Nanobots wouldn't digest their way through glass, they'd just break the glass down as needed.
Is this some kind of legal entanglement? That is, criminals are immediately alerted on some kind of quantum level that the police have ascertained they are holding relevant evidence.
You are basically wrong about rights. There is no objectively correct formulation for what a right is. The idea of rights precedes philosophical discussions about them. There are rights discussed in some of the most ancient writings we know of.
You can be given the right to enslave by a government. You might say 'in philosophy x you have no right to enslave' and you can also so 'philosophy x is the best way of thinking about this because' but you cannot say 'It is a rule of nature that you cannot enslave humans and therefore can have no absolute right to enslave', without supplying at least a whole books worth of justification, and even then you will probably not be persuasive.
Brazilians do not have the right to force other men to turn the internet back on. Instead they have a right to privacy, equal access to the network and so on.
Well there are examples of new technology harming people before they understood it fully. I'm looking at you radium! Hey, are these lead pipes in my asbestos insulated wall? I should have a healthy cigarette.
They aren't even paying the teachers. They are giving the teachers (and girls who complete) funds for class projects and only class projects (donorschoose gift codes)
Since each teacher need only enrol 8-10 girls (over any number of classes) to get the maximum allowed amount of gift codes - there is no more displacement of boys going on here than there would be in any reasonably sex balanced class environment.

If Google is unable to be sure, the 'competent authorities' will be able to confirm the personal data belongs to the individual making the request.
No.

Who is this 14th Century guy you're talking about?
This is not bad programming, this is the most common Use Case.
When I was programming BASIC this was equivalent to
while Break not pressed:
print 'whatever'
exit program

Net neutrality does not involve guaranteeing all citizens will have internet connection.
