[Chapter-delegates] [European-chapters] ECJ: Internet searchengine's data processing responsibilities

[Vint Cerf]

richard,
litigation is EXPENSIVE. Google is being forced to make a judgment based
not on its own standards but on an uncertain "standard" that is not clear
in the opinion expressed by ECJ. This is not a good outcome. You trivialize
the problem in my opinion.
