Okay, that's maybe a little rude, but, honestly, so is saying "We don't want you to just erase\/hide info on your servers \/ services that are in our jurisdiction, but the ones that aren't in our jurisdiction, either." \u00a0It's reducing elevating community standards to the least common denominator — "We don't like this data, so it has to be gotten rid of around the world."<\/p>\n

I don't care if it's pictures of\u00a0Tiananmen Square in 1989 or news accounts of some guy being mentioned in a real estate imbroglio on 1998, leaving it up to government bodies (even "good guys") to control the Memory Hole is never a good idea, and their insisting on controlling that information worldwide is just wrong.<\/p>\n

The ultimate risk here is that the EU says, "Okay, Google, you no longer have the right to crawl any sites that are within our jurisdiction; we'll roll out our own search engine." Or "fine, we're going to block, as a continent, access to all Google search sites (and, probably, everything else." Which just balkanizes (if I can use a European reference) the Internet, which is great news for busy-bodies who think they know what information you should and should not access, but bad news for everyone else.\u00a0\ufeff<\/p><\/div>\n
