How does this apply on the basis of the content's origin? If google indexes content hosted in france, transmits (exports) that data to canada, and then the french person whose content it is (or is about) requests it be forgotten, is that any different from the same story except the content is hosted in canada? I'm thinking about a french outlet reporting the same news as a canadian one. It seems reasonable to have some kind of "export" controls, like if you want to index our country's data, you have to abide by our content laws regarding it. Meanwhile, we'll let you do whatever with data you index from elsewhere. You can't show Canadians the forgotten French story, but you can still show them the Canadian paper's version of it. And if you don't abide by that, we won't let google canada export this data from france in the first place.

Under the EU data protection regime, it's already the step where you export personal data to somewhere outside that matters in your scenario. There are obligations on those exporting personal data to places beyond the EEA ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to protect it to an equivalent standard. This is somewhat controversial, because arguably it is impossible to meet that standard if you export to somewhere like the US, where there are laws allowing the national government to obtain personal data from those within its own reach, which no contractual safeguards or similar provisions can override. EU nations have similar rules, but only recognise their own national security interests as a valid reason to override the normal protections, not the analogous interests of any third country (that is, country that isn't an EU member state). The UK now has similar concerns in connection with Brexit.

  As incomplete as it is, fining google france for google canada's use of illegally exported data seems great then. You want the EU market, you abide by EU export laws.
