It was my understanding the EU already had directives that introduced the "right to be forgotten".

Seems like this new legislation supersedes the current one, but I'm not sure what the differences are.

I know that you can issue takedowns to Google under the right to be forgotten if you are an EU citizen. Typically it applies to personal information. Does the new legislation allow for takedowns of other information?
