Content, basically: Google secretly passes judgement on millions of people's right to be forgotten and does not want to talk about it. Some French organization (which does not seem to be anything government related, but it doesn't say) agrees with Google "most of the time", though, so we've got that going for us.
I fail to see how this is anywhere close to a "privacy watchdog". Speaking as a Dutchman, organizations like Privacy First or Bits of Freedom (both are Dutch) would be privacy watchdogs, not Google who passes judgement on over 500 cases a day just because they're a big player.
> "Other search companies, including Microsoft, have been given the same authority, though their number of judgments pales by comparison."
Yeah, and their market share also pales by comparison. Big surprise.
