Google extends right to oblivion -

Google has expanded its rules from right to be forgotten, that allow citizens to request the search engine remove results that they deem " outdated or irrelevant. "once removed, these results are not represented in the country longer. There was a loophole in the law, however, which allowed the EU people to see the results that had also removed.

About Right-to-be-Forgotten

As explained Ars Technica "in 2014, the search engines have been ordered by the high court of Europe to rub some lists on their index. Google, which controls about 0 percent of the search market in the EU said at the time that these measures amounted to censorship of the Internet. However, the ECJ landmark, indeed, said that the search engines were required to remove links that are old, outdated or irrelevant, and most significant of all is not to be in the interest public. "

The Loophole

Google links only removed from some search sites based in Europe when the law was enacted, which means that the desired people to a site local (google.fr) they got censored results, while they sought on the main site (google.com) they could see all the results. After facing increasing pressure from Europe, they develop these rules. With the new policy, Google will use location-based signals to "ensure that residents located in a given EU country can not see the results of research any version of the site, as those outside the country may go. "

Conclusions

the right to be forgotten is controversial in that it creates concerns about censorship. As some sources noted, using a VPN to access the research results provide a way around this censorship. What about the right to be forgotten? Tell us in the comments below

Update - March 28, 2016

the protection agency French data Google fined $ 100,000 Euros for not respecting the right to be forgotten. The fine for "not rub the results of the web search widely enough" - remove the bottom or not. Google removed the applications from the French area, the rules are not applicable outside the EU, but France said the compromise was not enough. Google argues that this law requires censorship, and the EU should not be able to control access to content for Internet users "outside its borders."
