UK - Govt has proposed mediation for disputes over removal of inaccurate online information

[bbc] Britons keen to remove inaccurate information held about them online could soon turn to a mediation service set up to deal with data disputes.

The idea for the service was floated by business minister Ed Vaizey during a debate on the net and privacy.

He said the service would be an easy way for citizens to change data that is wrong or invades their privacy.

The UK's ISPs were wary about the idea, the burden it could place on them and how effective it would actually be.
