Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, has with astonishment responded to the ruling of the European Court of justice that Google search results should remove that infringes on the privacy make. “I have rarely seen such far-reaching internet censorship seen,” says Wales.
According to Wales is a big chance that Google opposed the ruling and will fight it. “It would be silly to not to do that, because if they of anybody who whines about a picture they last week have posted complaints to be handled, it is very difficult for them.” Wales did his statements, according to the BBC, a British radio station.
Tuesday, the European Court of justice that search engines results, you must uninstall as that infringes on the privacy, even if the page that Google is linking to, it is legitimate. The EU court took a Spanish lawsuit under the microscope, in which a Spanish man complained that a newspaper article from 1998, in which he was called on Google to find. Because the newspaper article was about the auction of his house because of debts, he wanted to have the link removed from Google search results.
Viviane Reding, Commissioner for Justice, had himself a more nuanced picture about the ruling. According to her, proves the judgment of the EU court ruled that the legislation, which is still from the ‘digital stone age’ dates, in line with the practice.
