The French Data Protection Authority, CNIL, disagrees with the way Google the Right to be Forgotten, denying that it is sufficient to hide from Google's domestic versions references to insufficient, irrelevant or outdated references to individuals who have requested their deletion.
“Google must do the deletion everywhere,” insists the spokesperson for the relevant European working group. The reaction from the CNIL president came after the advisory committee set up by Google issued a conclusion approving Google’s policy.
Isabelle Falk-Pierrotin, president of the Authority that coordinates the other EU Authorities on the issue, told the Financial Times that she was not convinced by the judgment of this group - which includes eight independent experts and two Google - its legal advisor and chairman Eric Schmidt. This committee was set up in 2014 to guide Google in implementing the relevant decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union last May.
- Referrals (URLs) that refer to you on a website are removed from the engine's results only for searches based on your name - with different search criteria, the content that concerns you is detectable. Also, Google hides these referrals only from google.gr - to which we are automatically directed because our location is visible from our computer's IP address - and other European versions of the engine, but not from google.com.
- You can read the Court's decision in Greek, which, among other things, describes the content of the obligations of the search engine operator (e.g. Google) and the rights of the data subject (e.g. you).
