THE SITE OF THE CNIL BRIEFLY UNAVAILABLE

American group had filed an application for interim relief before the Council of State to avoid this, but was dismissed on February 7 by the judge who reviewed the case. In its judgment, the Conseil d’Etat considered that, contrary to what Google qu’affirmait, the publication of the decision would not be “irreparable harm” to the reputation of the search engine.

However, this decision in no way on the merits of the case, for which Google has filed a second appeal, according to information from Figaro .

side effect of this “first” on the Google home page: the volume of traffic generated to the site of the CNIL was as overloaded servers in the institution for a few hours, as has noticed the blog Korben.
