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.

    Today? The internet never forgets - unless, of course, one is armed with funds and lawyers, who are willing and able to issue take down orders. Funny that the internet can be "sanitized" in regards to some subjects. For instance, the New American Century has cleaned up it's own site, since 2000 and 2001. It's not nearly so objectionable as it used to be, it's purpose for existence is sugar coated. Of course, NAC has some super-fucking-filthy-rich members who can afford to sanitize the wider internet.

    I guess they didn't do a great job at sanitizing if you remember it. Kind of how like most germ-killing methods only kill 99.999% of germs, and then they just reproduce or take over again.

    Intelligent aliens are visiting Earth. Rumors of government involvement with aliens were deliberately leaked in order to create a pop culture smokescreen.
