Considering the fact that most of the Google users tend to trust information they find on the platform as authentic, Google needs to be responsible for information links. Since some information have the ability to influence individuals’ interaction and business activities, proper control will help in reducing wrong information from malicious individuals. This will institute a desirable balance between right of public to receive accurate information and private protection of individuals’ interests from inaccurate information (Jones, 2018). Although there are many paid Google services that claim to have reliable and accurate information, the same results need to be made available to non-paid service users.
The U.S fails to restrict the cross-border flow of information; instead, it has laid more emphasis on sectoral areas that covers particular data types. However, the EU emphasis on high privacy levels in the protection of individual data and communication ordered in the EU law. In this regard, the EU take on the issue of information privacy seems to be more realistic as it establishes a balance between privacy and other interests (Jones, 2018). The EU has information secrecy details that are pure and transparent as opposed to the U.S. In this regard, the U.S seems to be more focused on the integrity of information as a business strength while the EU, through the use of GDPR emphasis, more on individual citizens’ rights as opposed to those of public and enterprise.
To manage various perspectives on privacy, there is a need to establish a common international law in a world setting like the internet. The practice will require countries to embrace the use of a more detailed secrecy approach alongside upholding some basic principles (Jones, 2018). In this case, service providers will be required to meet definite minimum requirements privacy laws and avoid any form of information users’ discrimination.
