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.

    Just because your business model makes it hard to comply with the law, doesn't mean that you can force the law to let you flout it or force the government to pay your costs. It's up to you to design your business to be legal.
