Google has recently filed an appeal with the highest court in France against the CNIL, France\u2019s data protection authority. In 2015, the CNIL had ordered Google to stop showing \u201cforgotten\u201d search results to the whole world \u2013 essentially censoring them from the internet in places where France has no jurisdiction. Currently, Google is following Europe\u2019s \u201cRight to Be Forgotten\u201d laws, but still shows \u201cforgotten\u201d search results to people using Google from a non-European IP address. Notably, this ongoing case between Google and France has nothing to do with the highly publicized raid on Google\u2019s Paris headquarters by French tax officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While this separate Google vs France tax case may set a precedence for all the other multinational corporations with nominal EU headquarters located in Dublin, Ireland, this is nowhere near the biggest thing going on between Google and the French government. If anything, the media has predictably latched onto the tax story to the detriment of the \u201cRight to Be Forgotten\u201d story. The latter has been drawn out and played out, so to speak; in contrast, the tax story involves a highly public and politically well-timed official raid in broad daylight \u2013 the kind of thing that the media just loves. Why is the EU \u201cRight to Be Forgotten\u201d law such a sore point anyways?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Force \u201cRight to Be Forgotten\u201d Censorship On The Whole World? Non, Merci<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rick Falkvinge described the problem with \u201cRight to Be Forgotten\u201d on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateinternetaccess.com\/blog\/why-a-right-to-be-forgotten-is-really-really-bad-for-privacy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">PIA blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> nearly two years ago: \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the government can order something to be forgotten, it has given itself the right to change history, to erase embarrassment, and to protect its echelons against a free press.\u201d The past is past and the tool exists now \u2013 and has been used for good in revenge porn cases. More often than not, though, it has been used by the internet\u2019s scammers to erase evidence of their misdeeds. If people in a given jurisdiction want that kind of online environment, that is for them to vote; however, the gall of a government to seek to apply its rules on jurisdictions that have explicitly not consented is unbelieveable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google\u2019s general counsel, Kent Walker, explained why the company refused to acquiesce to the French government\u2019s over-reaching demands: \u201c\u2026if French law applies globally, how long will it be until other countries \u2013 perhaps less open and democratic \u2013 start demanding that their laws regulating information likewise have global reach?\u201d Companies have to stand up to egregious demands from governments \u2013 there is no more effective way.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is currently fighting France over the most important internet censorship legal case this year \u2013 and it involves the controversial Right to Be Forgotten.
