"In an email to The Verge, Google clarified that users will see results removed appropriate for whichever location their search is set to; however, if the country they’re physically in requires results to be removed no matter what, then results will get stripped out regardless of which location they choose."

Are searches originating from other countries undisturbed? Or does the right to be forgotten also police what non-European citizens can see in their own countries?

So as an European living in Thailand I can search for lectures on Greek democracy and watch Chaplin’s Dictator on YouTube but a Thai person sitting right next to me cannot.

That makes the world such a diverse place again.
