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.

    I'm not sure that franchise is sufficient separation, but that sounds basically like the best approach. Have a French company that contracts with Google to return search results, until it decides that it's easier to do it on it's own, or that some other search engine is a better choice.
