Google Case Set To Examine If EU Data Rules Extend Globally ​​​​​​​

Google is going to Europe’s top court in its legal fight against an order requiring it to extend “right to be forgotten” rules to its search engines globally.

- 

The technology giant is set for a showdown at the European Union Court of Justice in Luxembourg with France’s data privacy regulator over an order to remove search results worldwide upon request.

The dispute pits data privacy concerns against the public’s right to know, while also raising thorny questions about how to enforce differing legal jurisdictions when it comes to the borderless internet.

The two sides will be seeking clarification on a 2015 decision by the French regulator requiring Google to remove results for all its search engines on request, and not just on European country sites like google.fr
