Under European Union law, the tech giant is only obligated to de-reference sites for its search engines connected to EU member states.
The European Union's judicial branch has ruled Google isn't required to de-list information globally under the region's so-called "right to be forgotten" law.
The council turned to the Court of Justice of the European Union, which interprets EU law for courts of the member states upon request. On Tuesday, the CJEU issued its opinion on the matter and sided with Google, noting that "the right to the protection of personal data is not an absolute right, but must be considered in relation to its function in society and be balanced against other fundamental rights.
"[T]here is no obligation under EU law, for a search engine operator who grants a request for de-referencing made by a data subject, ... to carry out such a de-referencing on all the versions of its search engine," states the judgment.
