No, no, no. The test is objective and subject to legal challenge:
irrelevant and outdated personal information that disadvantages an
individual must not be the first or only result returned. Not just "I
don't like it" but "it's harmful misinformation for *both* the public
*and* the individual".

Raises lots of problems for Google, but the complainant's case is not
at all what you have characterized it as.
