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

[Chester Soong]

Yes, Gonzalez did sue both and the Spanish court dismissed the case 
against the newspaper was because they believe the original purpose of 
the publication of the foreclosure of Gonzalez' property was to maximize 
the exposure of such news such that more people know about the 
information and his property get taken over as soon as possible. This 
original intent was substantiated by the Court.

I agree with Vint's comment. Unfortunately, many of today's systems, 
especially internal IT systems of enterprises, do many things that makes 
no other sense than to satisfy some useless user requests. This is 
simply because the developer is not brave enough to say "no, it doesn't 
make any sense." :)

Regards,


Chester
