Well, it might reflect poorly from the States maybe. I totally agree with the EU, and I'm willing to guess that so do most Europeans.
I'm pretty sure this question could be used as a reasonably reliable predictor of nationality.
- happyscrappy 12y agoThis has zero chance. Zero. Hopefully they are just grandstanding for their home audience and are not as clueless as they sound.
- probably_wrong 12y agoThere are two issues here: 1_ the EU trying to convince Google to delete data they are allowed to have outside the EU. That won't work. 2_ the ruling that Google must make certain data unavailable within the boundaries of the EU or pay the consequences. Simply stating "we did, buy then users used the wrong two letters (domain) and accessed it anyway" is a poor excuse, and I think the EU won't take it. I can imagine Google blocking results based on IP (like they currently do with music videos on YouTube) as a reasonable compromise the EU can enforce. It does not account for proxies, of course, but it's a start.
