face=Arial>Perhaps I misunderstood the ECJ judgement, but it seems to me that it
does not impose any obligation on Google to adjudicate privacy or to substitute
itself for a judge. As I understand it, the ECJ says that a private person
can request that certain links be removed. If the search provider refuses,
then the private person can ask his national authorities (data protection
officer or courts, as the case may be) to evaluate his request and, if it is
justified, to order the search provider to remove the link.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

does searches; the ECJ will have it adjudicate on "privacy" from now

and touchy as these?</DIV>
