EU top court rules in favor of Google on search engine issue
2019-09-25
[DAWN] Google won a major case in the Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an Union on Tuesday, when the bloc’s top court ruled that the US internet giant doesn’t have to extend the EU’s "right to be forgotten" rules to its search engines globally.

The European Court of Justice said there "is no obligation under EU law for a search engine operator" to extend beyond the EU member states the court’s 2014 ruling that people have the right to control what appears when their name is searched online.

It said, however, that a search engine operator must put measures in place to discourage internet users from going outside the EU to find that information.

The case involving the US tech company and La Belle France’s data privacy regulator highlights the need to balance data privacy and protection concerns against the public’s right to information. It also raises questions about how to enforce differing jurisdictions when it comes to the borderless internet.

The case stems from the EU court’s 2014 ruling that people have the right to control what appears when their name is searched online. That decision forced Google to delete links to outdated or embarrassing personal information that popped up in searches within the 28-nation bloc.

One year later, the French privacy watchdog wanted Google to remove results on all its search engines on request, and not just European country sites like www.google.fr.

Easy fix for Google - treat these folks like US conservatives; that'll get your search results on the last page!
