Court Limits Right to be Forgotten Outside of European Cyberspace
On Tuesday, 24th, the European Court of Justice decided a case
which substantially limited the famous European privacy law: “the right to be
forgotten.” Under the 2014 legal standard, European citizens gained the right
to request removal of links to websites, articles, and databases that include
personal information considered old, no longer relevant, or not in the public
interest.
As
soon as the law went into effect, search engine companies were put to the test.
Some Europeans took issue with Google’s decision to only remove requested links
from the google sites within Europe (e.g., google.de, google.fr), rather than
all google sites. Critics say there is no value in the right to be forgotten if
people outside the country can still see the “forgotten” link.
Last
month, the highest court in Europe brought an end to this controversy. The
court declined to force Google to remove links on their search engine beyond sites
in Europe. Google will be allowed to continue evaluating and implementing
takedown requests internally, removing links only from their European web
searches.
