Any precedent for this sort of thing? (Score: 1) by wootery@pipedot.org on 2015-10-01 22:35 (#P6MQ) 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.

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. Re: Any precedent for this sort of thing?

But if you change the domain to google.com, it will show them.Considering most people don't use google.fr, google.ie, etc, but use google.com instead, Google's "implementation" is pathetic.Now we can argue wether it should be implemented at all, but saying that you implemented the request when you actually haven't is simply being in contempt.
