EU Internet Regulation After Google Spain

On 27 March 2015, the Faculty of Law at the University of Cambridge held a major international conference on EU Internet Regulation After Google Spain, supported by the Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) and Hogan Lovells.

The theme for the Conference was to explore the implications of C-131/12 Google Spain; Google v Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), Mario Costeja González (2014), the Court of Justice of the European Union's long awaited "right to be forgotten" case. Although directly focused on search engines, this key judgment had wider implications. Sessions therefore, explored not only the future of search engines’ data protection obligations but also the general shape of EU regulation of the internet, questions related to jurisdiction and applicable law and the historic pathway to the Google Spain judgment.
