France Denies Google's Appeal of 'Right to be Forgotten'

Google’s appeal against the global enforcement of “right to be forgotten” removals has been rejected by the French data regulator. The Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés (CNIL) ordered Google in May to apply RTBF removals not only to the company’s European domains such as google.co.uk or google.fr, but to the search engine’s global domain google.com.
