Google says non to French demand to expand right to be forgotten worldwide

Search firm rejects regulator's demand to remove links from google.com as well as its European subsidiaries

Google has rejected the French data protection authority's demand that it censor search results worldwide in order to comply with the European Court of Justice's so-called right to be forgotten ruling.

The company's rejection of the ruling could see its French subsidiary facing daily fines, although no explicit sanction has yet been declared.
