Submission + - Canadian Court Orders Google To Remove Websites From its Global Index (michaelgeist.ca)
An anonymous reader writes: In the aftermath of the European Court of Justice "right to be
forgotten" decision, many asked whether a similar ruling could arise
elsewhere. While a privacy-related ruling has yet to hit Canada,
Michael Geist reports
that last week a Canadian relied in part on the decision in issuing
an unprecedented
order requiring Google to remove websites from its global
index. The ruling is unusual since its reach extends far beyond
Canada. Rather than ordering the company to remove certain links
from the search results available through Google.ca, the order
intentionally targets the entire database, requiring the company to
ensure that no one, anywhere in the world, can see the search
results.
