France Wants Google to Apply ‘Right to Be Forgotten’ Ruling Worldwide or Face Penalties

France’s privacy watchdog on Friday called on Google to apply a European data protection ruling to its global domains or face financial penalties.

French authorities are now increasing the pressure on the American company, saying that Google must apply the ruling across all of its domains in the next 15 days or face penalties including a one-off fine of up to 300,000 euros, or almost $340,000.
