Google Wins Fight To Restrict Right-To-Be-Forgotten Ruling To EU Search Engines
Google has won a long-standing battle with the European Union (EU), after the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled the company can limit the scope of the "right-to-be-forgotten" (RTBF) regulation to searches made within the EU. From a report: Today's announcement was largely expected, given that an adviser to the EU's top court backed Google's case in January. (ECJ judges typically follow the advice given by the advocate general.) But now it's official, meaning Google and others will only have to delist search results from search engines inside the EU's perimeters. "The Court concludes that, currently, there is no obligation under EU law for a search engine operator who grants a request for de-referencing made by a data subject, as the case may be, following an injunction from a supervisory or judicial authority of a Member State, to carry out such a de-referencing on all the versions of its search engine,â the ECJ said in a press release.Read more of this story at Slashdot.
