You didn´t misunderstand: surely Google´s preliminary decision will be subject to administrative and possibly judicial review. However they ought to somehow represent as judges in making that decision.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(0,0,255);font-size:large">
By the way it might be the case that they wound up being sued, not only by the initial data subject, but why not by third parties who might feel censored by the search engine´s decision. No doubt a paradox from the ruling.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color:rgb(0,0,255);font-size:large">On the other hand, the standard set forth by the ECJ vis-a-vis Google is that of an editor: Google is to consider whether the quality of the data stands after the passage of time in relation to the goal that data was supposed to achieve. How Google can actually perform that standard is very uncertain, for they did not edit the Information in the first place. This is why references to liability of ISPs in copyright violation or in defamation cases do not seem apposite: in those cases, ISPs -not editors- such as Google can only be held liable on very limited grounds, namely effective knowledge and failure to expeditiously react thereto.</div>

<div><span><font color="#0000ff" 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>
