Google is indeed required by the French regulator to de-list globally. https://www.cnil.fr/sites/default/files/atoms/files/d2016-054_penalty_google.pdf https://www.cnil.fr/sites/default/files/atoms/files/d2016-05... It makes sense that if the protection of privacy of the individuals by de-listing is to be effective, it must be applied to all search requests, wherever they appear to come from or whatever google domain they are sent to. This does not mean controversial things will disappear from Google. The ruling and the penalty are about de-listing of specific search results, not documents. And only for specific group of queries, involving individual's name. The documents linked in de-listed results will still be available in search via all other queries.
