To be clear: we are not disputing that Google should comply with the right to be forgotten in Europe. We have worked diligently to give effect to the rights confirmed by the European Court of Justice. We have delisted approximately 780,000 URLs to date and have granted fast and effective responses to individuals who assert their rights.
But you haven't done that for the United States, which makes it clear Google wants to play Big Brother, where legally not disallowed to do so. Else, Google would have proactively implemented this for everyone across the board, and where that is not legally possible, Google would have diligently lobbied the authorities like it does when it is in Google's interest.
The whole thing is a farce; if Google weren't legally pressured, they would never do this because it cuts into their business model of living off of people's privacy. Clever opinion manipulation attempt with "every country should be able to choose", but not clever enough; there should be no attempt at manipulation to begin with, Mr. Global Privacy Counsel. As a privacy counsel, You shouldn't even be making these arguments, Mr. Global Privacy Counsel!

- Annatar 10y agoSo you are saying that if Google finds, indexes and caches my private information without my explicit permission or knowledge, it is okay for that data to be available to everyone indefinitely? Well I disagree vehemently, especially in cases where a third party, such as a for-profit corporation violates a fiduciary relationship without my knowledge, sells that data, and Google mines and makes that data available. That's just wrong!
