Spanish Court to Hear Google's Privacy Challenge

A legal case pitting Internet search giant Google Inc. against Spain's privacy laws will be heard by a Spanish court, a Google spokeswoman said. The case, a significant test of tightening privacy laws in the developed world, stems from a 2008 Google challenge to Spain's Agency of Data Protection, a government organization that deals with complaints from citizens over the handling of their personal data on the Internet.
