"And your looking to man for answers is somehow better?"
Yes, because at least science can provide actual evidence and corrects itself when wrong conclusions are reached. Religion does neither of those things.
"If a page is 'forgotten', I believe is it only blocked if you were trying to access the page from a country covered under the Right to be Forgotten law."
For now. As I predicted when this law was passed, there is now a strong effort to make it stick worldwide.
It has to be a good-sized empty wall, and you have to have forward-facing seating a reasonable distance away from it. Most people have neither of those things.

"it is their responsibility as a business to find better ways of keeping us safe"
I disagree. It is their responsibility to show mindless, expensive entertainment without putting us in danger or being dangerously negligent. It is not their responsibility to find better ways of keeping us safe.
I agree that the underlying problem is the system of privacy policies, but Spotify's "clarifying" blog post doesn't do anything to resolve the problem.
The problem is that the privacy policy allows the company to do nefarious things. Even saying (in a post rather than a legal document) that they won't do anything without your "explicit permission" fails on two important points:
1) It could be argued that you gave such permission when you accepted the privacy policy.
2) It's saying "trust us". Maybe Spotify is trustworthy right now, maybe not (I honestly have no idea about their corporate personality), but the second that someone buys Spotify, all of that can change.
I don't think any of that is an overreaction at all. I'd like to see a lot more products and services eliciting the same overreaction.
These rulings don't remove anything from any databases. All they are doing is telling search engines not to include links to the pages in their search results when certain search terms are used. You can still find the pages using other search terms.
All of which only makes the law even more despicable.
