Google's lawyers are trying to make sense of a ruling they did not expect.

This week, a Europe's highest court decided that people have a right to request the deletion of search results about them. So Google has to remove links to certain pages. Legal experts in Europe are torn about what it exactly means.

The Ruling

She goes to Google.es, Spain's version of the search engine, and types in the name Mario Costeja Gonzalez. The second result she gets for Gonzalez is a link to a 1998 Spanish newspaper clip. "It shows his home was repossessed because of debt," she explains.
