#2Terrible ruling, do they even understand how the internet works?
Oh well, when you're a global company, this is the BS you have to deal with.

#3This has already been blocked by a US court https://www.zdnet.com/article/us-court-sides-with-google-aga... so it's in the BC court to get modified.

#4This needs to be rejected whole sale. One nation does NOT have the authority to dictate what a company can do outside of it's borders and concerns. The censorship issues that have been cropping up lately in these regards are appalling. The "hate speech" legislature of many EU nations comes to mind. If that insanity were to be enforced "world wide" it's seriously time for new service providers to step up that aren't so money hungry for those markets to capitulate.

Are you saying it's impossible for Google to block some results globally?
Because even if I may agree with the sentiment, I don't see how technology is the problem here–differences in law are.
And if technology were the problem, that'd be the weakest possible argument. Where ever possible, technology need to evolve to serve what society (democratically) decides. You and I may not agree with this specific decision, but the process that created it is still far more legitimate than whatever Google or, in other cases, two guys and a compiler come up with.

I'd say that yes, they do.
There's little point in removing the results from google.ca and not google.com.

It's not impossible for Google to do, it's unjust for one nation to regulate the conduct of a company in every country.

Exactly. Google should have subsidiaries in each nation it operates and obey the local law - nothing more and nothing less. Canadia courts should not have an effect on Mexico, and Iranian courts should not have an effect on the US.
Google can sell/offer it's services anywhere as long as it's legal.

#10Its interesting that Google is making a 'freedom of expression' argument when they themselves heavily censor YouTube content. Google controls the platform their users use, and the Government controls the 'platform' that both companies and users use. I suppose nobody cares about the users in both cases.
