This really is about Google putting a foot down on territorial limits of enforcement. Without those we will be living in a lowest common denominator world.
The stance they are taking is important beyond this specific issue e.g. warrants wrt. data stored in foreign data centers and law enforcement hacking foreign computers.
- wheelerwj 10y agoNo it's not. This is about google wanting to maintain control over someones data just because they are in a different jurisdiction. If google succeeds, the only thing that will happen is more walled off sections of the internet as countries move to control the flow of data.
- eh78ssxv2f 10y agoCan you please explain what you mean by "google wanting to maintain control over someones data"? I thought if the original publisher removed an article, it will be removed from the Google's index too. So, I thought Google was not controlling data, they were merely indexing it.
