'You have no right to see me naked!' Suddenly, everyone wakes up at the Google-EU face-off

This is what you get from putting

Public Records online. If you did the crime, be prepared to do the time. That includes having the records come up in a search. All Google does is search for the info YOU are looking for with the keywords YOU choose. You could find the same info from ANY search agent, Bing, Duck, Duck GO or whomever.

Google registers TLDs for the country that the searcher originates from for convenience and legal purposes. People who want to subvert that system arent their problem because Google have done what they are supposed to do for the jurisdiction.

If the EU just wants to make Google it's bunboy, it should be doing the same to individuals and companies who use the web to put data online, because they are more culpable than Google. It is they who are actually USING the tools. Google just provides the results.

If you don't like what you find about YOURSELF on the web, don't blame Google, blame the person who put it there in the first place.
