Is EU right to expand 'right to be forgotten' to Google.com?

It doesn't matter what this is about

What matters is what the law says and how it will be abused.

In theory Google could be made to tow the line financially. In practice, governments have demonstrated their inability to create laws that tax big multinationals. In theory, the right to be forgotten might be a good idea. In practice I have confidence that our government will create multiple train wrecks while failing to create laws that result in an effective way to hide old embarrassing web pages.
