European Court of Justice issues non-Binding opinion in case involving Google and France’s data protection authority CNIL. Advocate General Maciej Szpunar says the relevant European law does not address extraterritoriality. The right to be forgotten predates the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation, which went into full effect in May 2018. Google and the European Commission argued that the right should only apply within the 28 member states within the EU. In May 2015, France’s CNIL served a notice to Google stating that when it approved a. request to delist a link, it should remove a. “right to erasure” or delisting” request to all. websites worldwide.”]
