Google rejects French order to extend right to be forgotten
2015-07-31 09:00:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Google has rejected an order from the French data protection regulator to implement the 'right to be forgotten' across the search engine's websites. France's CNIL ordered Google last month to offer the right to be forgotten not just on Google.fr, but also on the Google.com site. This follows the ruling in May 2014 by the EU's Court of Justice that individuals can ask website operators to remove personal information from their sites if there is no associated public interest. Since then Google has received more than a quarter of a million requests to remove listings in its search engine to over 1 million individual web pages. If Google does not comply with the requests, users can file a complaint with EU regulators such as CNIL. It was following such complaints that the French regulator told Google to expand its delisting to Google.com, and not just European Google pages. Google said in a statement on its policy blog that it could not allow one country to set policy for the entire world. "We believe that no one country should have the authority to control what content someone in a second country can access," Google said. It also called the CNIL's order "disproportionate and unnecessary" as around 97 percent of French internet users access a European version of Google's search engine like google.fr, rather than Google.com.

An appeals court in San Francisco Thursday upheld a $14.5 million jury verdict against Google as punishment for unfairly demanding what Microsoft said amounted to billions of dollars for use of patents covering Wi-Fi and video downloads.
