That's precisely the problem and is a clear example of how Europeans value privacy differently.
Personally, I think it is a fundamentally important right that I be able to post a blog about how "the_mitsuhiko wronged me" in some way and have that information publicly accessible. European courts think you should be able to suppress such information—even if it is true.
When I store your personal data, I should be allowed to do so under the 1st amendment that is about speech?
