Absolutey!

"But if Europe is to have a law, then the Court rules that it must apply to everyone, not just the wealthy who can afford superinjunctions."

True, the whole concept of superinjunctions is simply wrong.

" The Court notes that the internet has a massive reputational impact, and so constantly republishing irrelevant information breaches a citizen's fundamental rights."

Also true; who decides what is irrelevant? To whom does one appeal if one disagrees? Should everything be suppressed in case it is irrelevant to somebody - that would be crazy (although it would suit some politicians, no doubt) - or should everything be published until proven irrelevant?

"Google wants an exemption to that law".

So do I, until it's been voted on by a democratically elected Parliament representing the wishes of the majority of the people in each country in which this law applies
