France Tells Google To Remove "Right To Be Forgotten" Search Results Worldwide

Posted by samzenpus on from the clean-slate dept.

An anonymous reader writes: France's data protection authority rejected Google's appeal to limit how a European privacy ruling may be applied worldwide. Since the European Court ruling last year Google has handled close to 320,000 requests, but only de-lists the links on European versions of its sites. "Contrary to what Google has stated, this decision does not show any willingness on the part of the C.N.I.L. to apply French law extraterritorially," the agency said in a statement.

    It's insightful because America is notorious for applying its own laws extraterritorially, ie inside other countries. The French are merely copying the principle.

    Then maybe France should try becoming the world's superpower, before trying to act like one.
