Google: Implementing a European, not global, right to be forgotten
http://googlepolicyeurope.blogspot.co.uk/
If the CNIL's proposed approach were to be embraced as
the standard for Internet regulation, we would find ourselves in
a race to the bottom. In the end, the Internet would only be as
free as the world's least free place. We believe that no one
country should have the authority to control what content
someone in a second country can access. We also believe this
order is disproportionate and unnecessary, given that the
overwhelming majority of French internet users--currently around
97%--access a European version of Google's search engine like
google.fr, rather than Google.com or any other version of
Google. As a matter of principle, therefore, we respectfully
disagree with the CNIL's assertion of global authority on this
issue and we have asked the CNIL to withdraw its Formal Notice.

Googlers great.
