The search engine
company will soon send a group of executives and legal experts,
including the company’s executive chairman, Eric E. Schmidt, around the
region to explain Google’s stance on online privacy.
The series of
meetings, which is expected to start as early as September and last up
to nine months, will form part of the company’s response to a recent European court ruling that gives people the right to ask that links about themselves be removed from certain Internet searches.
On Friday in Europe, Google opened a website
for its 10-person privacy advisory group. The site includes an area
where people can give suggestions for how the company should respond to
the court’s decision.
The privacy committee
includes Mr. Schmidt and Google’s top lawyer, David C. Drummond. Other
members are Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, who has been a vocal
critic of Europe’s so-called right to be forgotten, and several European
data protection experts, including José Luis Piñar, a former Spanish
privacy regulator.
