This is an extremely important ruling, because if Europe could dictate that Google (or any other company) had to take down content globally, then it would open up for countries like China to do the same.

Imagine if people in Europe couldn't see something because China said so. https://t.co/TCj8vQ1Sbn
Thank goodness for the internet and the rest of us.

The European Court of Justice ruling that Europe’s Right to Be Forgotten cannot be enforced beyond the EU is an appropriate step to curb European overreach that jeopardized the future of the global internet. Statement from @castrotech: https://t.co/kO4YKq5eNK pic.twitter.com/va39clT5OU

Argued along the same line when I was a member of Google advisory board. The RTBF is still Westphalian, with law bounded by geography, it is the GDPR that is (rightly) post-Westphalian : “Google wins landmark right to be forgotten case” https://t.co/1iRt2UWEce

“Google wins”? No, the winners here are every Web user outside the EU who didn’t care to see search results censored worldwide to honor EU “right to be forgotten” decisions. https://t.co/tl9nxHP18x

In the new Google v CNIL, CJEU makes a statement on extraterritorial reach of the GDPR’s right to be forgotten. Ruling: Companies do not have to remove links globally when RTBF request is made under EU law. https://t.co/HDSZNUFwgl

Right, so eventually brutal dictators could probably just order tech companies not to have links to details about them...if actually convicted criminals can have any mention quietly removed in search; #EndoftheInternet https://t.co/d51oLMRNqR pic.twitter.com/1QYdUEfA7F

No surprise. Sounds like CJEU applied basic principles of Int’l jurisdiction to the case. No internet exceptionalism cuts both way ways. This is very reminiscent of French Yahoo case in 2000. https://t.co/P5GqQDY0BH

Years ago the TWiET crew described the EU "Right to be forgotten" as a well-intentioned law that was going to be abused and misused.

All these years later we find that the "Right to be forgotten" has been...
... abused and misused.
Go figure.https://t.co/edxphYRyWF
It’s the day for landmark judgments.
