<li><strong>] Google and the EU right to be forgotten legislation</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] We told in on a past episode that Google was required by the European Union to let people be &ldquo;forgotten&rdquo; on the Google Search engine. Now, Google is complying by offering a web page where people can submit URLs they want Google to delete from their Search index. Google will review each submission on a case-by-case basis and decide what to keep and what to delete from the European versions of Google Search.</li>

<li><strong>] Truecrypt - closed down, possible takeover by ...</strong></li>
<ol>
<li>] We told you yesterday about the sudden and mysterious demise of TrueCrypt, an open source encryption application. Visitors to the TrueCrypt web site since Wednesday have been redirected to a page on the open course community site SourceForge advising users to stop using the product because of &ldquo;unfixed security issues.&rdquo; It turns out that the anonymous volunteer developers of TrueCrypt just got tired of doing it, and made a hasty, if awkward, exit. But now, a group of other security experts are planning to develop a fork of TrueCrypt and make it a going concern again -- if they can work out the legal rights to the code.</li>
