Has this sort of thing happened before?

Global companies are used to having to censor for certain countries, but it's quite different here with France telling Google to enforce this right-to-be-forgotten thing globally or else stop doing business in France.

Actually, Google would have to pull out of the entire EU, not just France.

You should probably save your comments for when these stories get pushed to the front page. Here in the pipe, hardly anyone will see them. This is really for editing the story before publication... corrections, more/better links, etc.

Not sure when these will go live... I figured waiting for maybe 3 up-votes would be no big deal, but they've been sitting at +1 for days and days.
