Absolutely, and kudos to Google for fighting this ruling. This is an important dispute over jurisdiction, and it needs to be resolved sanely.

- jrock08 11y agoI'll copy-paste my reply to every comment you make, since you seem to really like making this non argument. Gawker could chose to relocate it's business outside the US, but as long as they are a US corporation, they are bound by US laws and rulings handed down by US courts. Furthermore, defamation laws for publishing content are very different than the right to be forgotten laws which apply to indexing content. No one is arguing that the content is defamation, since it is true and reasonable, the argument is that the content is no longer relevant to a person's character (eg shoplifting arrest as a teenager that made local news).
