EU Court Says Google Doesn't Have to Apply 'Right to be Forgotten' Worldwide

The European Union’s top court ruled that Google does not have to extend the E.U.’s “right to be forgotten” rules to search results worldwide, handing the U.S. tech giant a major win as it comes under increasing scrutiny from European regulators. In 2014, the European Court of Justice gave E.U. residents more control over what pops up when their names are searched online.
