Recently the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) ruled that the search engine Google is not obliged to apply the so-called “right to be forgotten” in all its versions throughout the world, only in Europe.
The right to be forgotten is the right that a citizen has to request the deletion of a type of information, as long as there is no historical memory or it is of public interest.
It is known as habeas data , and consists of the cancellation Chile Mobile Number List of personal information by removing it, and also links located in the various search engines, which the owner can identify as obsolete or that in some way affect the free development of their fundamental rights.
The right to be forgotten will not apply to everyone; Google
In accordance with what the CJEU ruled, Google must remove, when requested, links to the user's personal information, but only within the scope of the European Union (EU), not in the rest of the world.
This decision is controversial, since there is a major dispute between the internet-related products and services company and a French privacy regulator.

It is worth mentioning that in 2016, the French National Commission for Informatics and Liberties fined the search engine 100 thousand euros for not deleting the applicant's personal information on a global scale.
With this new ruling, the European court is giving a positive ruling to Google in a matter that separates press freedom from personal privacy with a fine line.
According to Euronews , the decision taken this Tuesday by the CJEU marked interest in the case, since if the decision had been contrary, it could have been considered an attempt by Europe to monitor an American technology giant, beyond of the EU borders.
