Europeans Want 'Right to Be Forgotten,' Don't Know How That Should Work
European regulators have not yet decided whether to try to force search engines such as Google and Microsoft's Bing to scrub results globally when people invoke their "right to be forgotten" in the region.
Isabelle Falque-Pierrotin—who heads France's privacy watchdog and the WP29 group of EU national data protection authorities—said in an interview on Friday that no consensus had yet been reached on what she called a "complicated issue".
The European Union's top court ruled in May that search engines must take down certain results shown under a search of a person's name if the information was "inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant".
