Google is in trouble!


Since 2010 Google was obligated to remove links to the websites and articles that contain people’s irrelevant information by their request. Under certain circumstances people may ask to remove only inaccurate or illegally acquired information posted about them in Google search results. Certain circumstances include that celebrities and political figures are not allowed to demand from Google to put down information about them. The Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that Google must comply with the EU Data Protection Directive even if data occurs in the other countries. This issue raised a lot of topics such as how to determine which data must be taken down, affect on Google’s business as well as European market and cultural differences between European Union and the United States of America.
