Google launched a dedicated page on Friday to publicise its advisory council on the right to be forgotten case which invites the public to submit their comments on the ruling and how the search giant should apply it.
The European court of justice ruling means that anyone living in Europe has the right to ask search engines to remove links to stories which include their name.
The company has since received more than 70,000 requests and has said that each of these needs to be assessed by a lawyer. It has started recruiting a new team of legal staff to work through the applications, it is understood.
"In order to help us navigate this issue we are setting up an advisory council to gather input from Europeans," the advisory council page states. "The advisory council will hold consultations in Europe this fall, which we intend to stream live and record."
It will also invite contributions from the technology and media industries as well as government and acandemia, but Google has also asked the public to contribute through the advisory council page.
"For each of these requests, we’re required to weigh, on a case-by-case basis, an individual’s right to be forgotten with the public’s right to know," says the page.
"We want to strike this balance right. This obligation is a new and difficult challenge for us, and we’re seeking advice on the principles Google ought to apply when making decisions on individual cases."
The page asks each commenter whether they are happy for their submission to be made public.
The council of 10 appointees, headed by Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt and chief legal officer David Drummond, includes academics, technologists, legal experts and a journalist.
