CJEU and Google

CJEU in its recent judgment articulated the right to be forgotten by extensive interpretation of the current legislation. Unfortunately, as some of the comments point out, it completely failed to take into consideration balance between the freedom of speech and the right to be forgotten. By the same judgment the court managed to subject Google to the EU standard of privacy and data protection, and therefore if the data protection package should become law, enforcement would be simpler with regard to non-EU based companies (this solution was already pointed out by ENISA back in 2012).
