You mean fine Google hundreds of thousands of dollars. Go to the Europeans Data Protection Supervisor and force them to act which will be a continent wide decision as well as none compliance fines of up to 2% of it's worldwide tornover if it does not comply. The fact that people seem to immidiatly think the search engine will be banned is ludicrous. It clearly underscores that people have no clue what they are talking about and merely see it from their perspective what they have been conditioned to believe is right.

The US has almost zero regard for privacy. The EU does. These are fundamental differences between our continents. Some member states have stringent laws as to personal data that Google has voided since early 2000 and before. Our governments have always been severely behind on enforcing privacy laws since the digital revolution. With the cohesion between member states due to EU integrations, the 21 group commission and the spark the NSA revelations made has put enforcing privacy into overdrive to prevent any further encroachment.

When u look at the US, arrest records, court records, marriage/divorce etc etc record are all public record. This has so many consequences a book can be written about it. To a European this would despicable and a basic infringement upon their personal life atmosphere. Sure we need to punish criminals harder in Europe and we should allow upstanding citizens to use fire arms for self defense. But any country has issues it faces where it is torn between options but those are completely not related to what this issue is.

Whenever i hear US diplomats tell my continent or my countries diplomats something it almost always 99% of the time about enforcing bussines profits and prevent those profits from falling. A good example of that would be US diplomats forcing the European commission to not ban 21 cancer causing pesticeds, which they succeeded in.

The issues is when i search through google.eu or any other member state it gives me the option to use google.com in the lower bar where it also copies the search term with it. This will instantly show you the search results without the personal data removal that google did not object to removing in the first place. This is a open and shut case about local law avoidance and circumvention.

Then there are the people who say; you should not approach Google, but the you should approach the webmaster about removing your personal data. Ooooh really! To you i say, go contact websites like whoisology.com or domaintools.com and ask to remove your personal data and see how far you will get.

Or better yet, ask websites hosting in the continent of south america or asia who hide behind walls of privacy and do not reply to any emails. The regisrar and even the webhost do not care nor do they reply. Fact is ppl hardly visit sites directly, most people and especially employers use search engines to looks for people and that is what EU does NOT want, unlike the US.
