They and others were asked to remove the false information. Google failed to do
so. Where does that leave them?[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Could be yes, could be no. Depends on exactly what the ruling is.
If Google could (have) escape(d) the ruling by just refusing to return ANY
search results on the guy, then I think the ruling might be just. (No idea
about legal.) But requiring search engines to not talk about you might be quite
reasonable.
The only problem with this is that many people have the same name. That raises
a problem that I don't see a good answer to except that Google shouldn't judge.
(This isn't the case for things like French or Belgian news, where Google could
just decline to index new services located in that country...and where the
country is readily identifiable. In that case declining to index those
publications seems a reasonable response.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
