- The European Union’s highest court ruled that the “right to be forgotten” online doesn’t extend beyond the EU borders.
- A 2014 EU legal ruling required search engines to start deleting embarrassing or outdated information upon individual request.
- The recent ruling was in response to a 2015 dispute between Google and French privacy regulator CNIL.
- However, the court stated that Google must “seriously discourage” EU users from going on non-EU versions of Google.
- Since 2014, Google has received 845,501 “right to be forgotten” requests.
