Free speech remains uninfringed as long as Europeans can still reach US search results.


Free speech remains uninfringed even if all search results are the same.


So it is still free speech even if no one is allowed to hear it?


As I said earlier, I'm not sure algorithmically generated search results rise to the level of political speech as they're not expressive of an opinion.

You are still allowed to find and read the original article under this EU law. You are just not entitled to have it pre-emptively collected and indexed for you if the subject of the article has a colorable wish to preserve their privacy.


Sounds like a good use of EU resources.
