I also think it's wrong that they didn't sanction the original publisher, which makes far more sense as a solution. The original publisher is fine in this case

I also think it's wrong that they didn't sanction the original publisher, which makes far more sense as a solution. The original publisher is fine in this case because the information is perfectly correct. Which is what makes this case particularly asinine.

Absolutely not so. That's not how free speech works in the EU, and that's not what the court ruling says. EU citizens have a general right to information privacy. The original publisher was "...legally justified as [the publication] took place upon order of the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and was intended to give maximum publicity to the auction..." My understanding: La Vanguardia (exclusively) gained the legal right to process private information for (only) this specific reason - but Google processed the private information without that legal right. http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?docid=152065&doclang=EN http://curia.europa.eu/juris/document/document.jsf?docid=152...
