Google need not comply with the right to be forgotten outside of the EU, according to a European Court of Justice ruling. A global de-referencing would meet the EU’s data protection objectives, the court said, but it found that numerous third states do not recognize the right to de-referencing or have a different approach to that right. Further, the right to the protection of personal data is not an absolute right but must be considered in relation to its function in society and must be balanced against other fundamental rights, the court ruled.
