I don't understand; did they single out Google, or does the ruling also apply to Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Apple, Facebook, and many other companies that cache results?
Search engines may cache information, but the content usually originates on some other hosting site. Those hundreds of thousands of hosting sites may still have the content, so what the Court is saying is all the more silly--you must disallow search results if anyone in the world opts out.
I say, Google should just go about its business and if EC doesn't like it, Google should pull out of Europe and just allow anyone to access it from overseas servers. It will be just like China, which blocks Google.
Information wants to be free. This is a huge step backward.
