Google: Reflecting on the Right to be Forgotten

https://blog.google/topics/google-europe/reflecting-right-be-forgotten/

        But one Data Protection Authority, the French Commission
        Nationale de l'Informatique et des Liberts (the CNIL), has
        ordered Google to go much further, effectively instructing us
        to apply the French balance between privacy and free
        expression in every country by delisting French right to be
        forgotten removals for users everywhere.  Ultimately, we might
        have to implement French standards on Google search sites from
        Australia (google.com.au) to Zambia (google.co.zm) and
        everywhere in between. And any such precedent would open the
        door to countries around the world, including non-democratic
        countries, to demand the same global power.

Combine a globally enforced Right To Be Forgotten with the Fake News
scourge and you've got a recipe for total chaos. Both must be stopped.
Right Now.
