Canada court says Google must change global search results
2017-06-29 10:46:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Canada's supreme court has ruled that the country's courts can order Google to remove search results all over the world after a long-running case between Vancouver-based tech company Equustek and distributor Datalink Technologies. In 2012, Equustek asked Google to remove Datalink search results after the distributor was accused of relabelling one of its products and selling it as its own online. Google proceeded to remove web pages associated with Datalink on the Canadian version of its search engine but the supreme court of British Columbia subsequently ordered the company to expand the de-indexing order worldwide. The national supreme court has now dismissed Google's appeal against that order on the grounds that "the internet has no borders its natural habitat is global."
