Google is going to Europe's top court in its legal fight against an order requiring it to extend "right to be forgotten" rules to its search engines globally.

The technology giant is set for a showdown at the European Union Court of Justice in Luxembourg on Tuesday with France's data privacy regulator over an order to remove search results worldwide upon request.

The dispute pits data privacy concerns against the public's right to know, while also raising thorny questions about how to enforce differing legal jurisdictions when it comes to the borderless internet.

    Let's be honest. These laws are ultimately intended to protect the wealthy from being exposed for their past misdeeds. Especially politicians, political candidates, and government employees and officials who are receiving money from corporate entities. Politicians have a higher than normal incidence of past misdeeds and the dishonest ones don't want their past exposed for public scrutiny. They get to have their past erased.

    Let's be honest.

    Let's.
    How about starting by admitting you have no idea why these laws are about, but a populist verbal diarrhoea is gonna be well received by some on the S/N of today?
