Google refuses to obey an order of French authority to cancel search results around the world, when people claim their “right to be forgotten” online, the company said, exposing themselves to potential fines.
The authority of French data protection, the CNIL, in June ordered the company to hide search engine search requests that deliver results displayed under the name of a person in all websites, including Google.com
This is derived from a regulation by the European Court of Justice in May last year. European residents claim that in search engines such as Google or Microsoft Bing should proceed eliminating results that appear under the search for a name when they are not recent, are irrelevant and even are incendiary. This is the famous right to be forgotten.
Google due to regulation and, since then, has received more than a quarter of a million requests for removal of results, in accordance with its reporting transparency. The company has cooperated with 41 percent of requests.
However, it has limitations as to the removal of European sites such as Google.fr Google.de in Germany or in France, arguing that more than 95 percent of European searches are conducted through local versions of Google.
