Google Wins At The Top EU Court: Privacy Can Be a Question of Geography
RON MOSCONA
Earlier this week, the Court of Justice of the European Union, perhaps for the first time, drew a territorial limitation to the requirements imposed under the General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’). The court held that an individual’s exercise of their “right to be forgotten” in relation to certain materials available online, which obliges Google’s search engine to remove search results to websites containing that content, does not extend to the versions of Google’s search engine directed to non-EU member states. In other words, the search results would only have to be removed insofar as the search engine is accessed from the EU.
