> So it's not the EU pushing for the right to be forgotten to be extended to the citizens of all countries. It may be a bad title, probably for the purpose of link baiting, but the article itself isn't completely wrong assuming the EU desire is ultimately to gain control over what information is retained for EU citizens. It's possible this is merely speculation. Personally, if the EU wishes to extend this limit themselves, then they should block access to US search engines from within EU member states. That's entirely within their right to do and it's a whole lot easier than upsetting everyone else who doesn't want to play by the same rules (and negates the need for extending treaties and the likes). At its most extreme, I'm humored a bit by the prospect of what this sort of precedent would set for future demands made by North Korea.
