US EditionGoogle refusing to comply with “right to be forgotten” delisting decision
- In this year, Canada's appellate court dismissed Google's challenge in a case concerning the removal of certain search results linked to an individual.
- The case originated in 2017 when Google contested how federal privacy regulations were being applied to its search engine, leading the privacy commissioner to request judicial intervention.
- The dispute involves news reports about a criminal accusation that was ultimately dismissed, which the person claims led to social discrimination, unemployment, and physical attacks.
- Philippe Dufresne, the privacy commissioner, advised that Google remove certain articles from search results linked to an individual's name, but Google has declined to follow this advice and continues to show the articles when searched using other keywords.
- This legal decision affirms a limited digital 'right to be forgotten' in Canada and the commissioner's office is considering options to secure Google's compliance with the Act.
