The European Union's top court ruled Tuesday that Google isn't
generally obliged to apply the "right to be forgotten" to versions
of its search engine accessed outside the bloc.
The decision from the EU's Court of Justice is a victory for the
Alphabet Inc. search engine and the group of companies and
free-speech advocates that supported it. For more than three years,
Google has been fighting an order from France's privacy regulator
to apply the EU principle globally.
