“The judgment was handed down by the Luxembourg-based Court of Justice of the European Union. The court ruled that Google, if asked to do so, must amend links to information shown to be outdated or information deemed to be irrelevant. The case followed complaints from a man in Spain who argued that when Google’s search results revealed details published in a local newspaper about an auction of his repossessed home, that infringed on his privacy rights. The European high court effectively said that any company that gathers or indexes information about European citizens is subject to its laws, even if the company has no physical presence in that nation.”
