Searching for the right balance

Friday, July 11, 2014

In May, the Court of Justice of the European Union established a “right to be forgotten." Today, we published an op-ed by David Drummond, senior vice president of corporate development and chief legal officer, in the U.K.'s The Guardian, Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, France's Le Figaro and Spain's El Pais, discussing the ruling and our response. We're republishing the op-ed in full below. omit“Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant, or excessive.The Guardianadvisory councilPosted by David Drummond, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development and Chief Legal Officer
