Google Fights ‘Right To Be Forgotten’ Extension
谷歌反對擴大“被遺忘權”
The “right to be forgotten” online became a European law in 2014 following a case involving a Spaniard who wanted his financial past to be erased from Google. The law required Google and other search engines to accept requests from Europeans to take their personal information offline on local country domains. Now, European regulators want to extend this delisting to worldwide domains. Google is against this idea and has argued that some countries will use this as a censorship tool. Since the 2014 law passed, Google has received 700,000 requests to remove information about European citizens. More than 50% of the requests have been denied. When the UK leaves the European Union, it may no longer be protected by this European regulation.
一名西班牙人想讓自己的財政歷史在谷歌上被抹掉，該案件過后，網上“被遺忘權”在2014年成為了一條歐洲法律。該法律要求谷歌和其他搜索引擎接受歐洲人把他們的個人信息從當地國家域名線上屏蔽的請求。現在，歐洲管理者希望把此屏蔽擴大到世界域名。谷歌反對該想法，認為有些國家會利用它作為審查工具。自2014年該法律通過后，谷歌已經收到了70萬條移除歐洲公民信息的請求。有超過50%的請求被拒絕。英國離開歐盟后，可能將不再受此歐洲法規的保護。
