29 | We told you in the past that a French commission wanted Google to extend its right-to-be-forgotten censorship to cover not only the French and European Google Search sites, but all Google Search sites worldwide. Now, that commission, called the National Commission on Informatics and Liberty, is giving Google 15 days to censor Google Search results globally or face a fine of up to 150 thousand Euros. | http://www.politico.eu/article/france-challenges-google-on-right-to-be-forgotten/ | ||||
30 | David Meyer is a Tech policy reporter at POLITICOEurope. Q: Can you briefly summarize what Europe's right-to-be-forgotten rules are? Q: On what legal basis does the French governmental believe it has the right to censor outside of France? Q: Is there any concern in France over the establishment of a precedent where a national government can censor globally? Q: What if Google simply pays the fine. Is that the end of it? | David Meyer Tech policy reporter, POLITICO Europe @superglaze | ||||

47 | Google last year launched its Android One program, which was designed to lower the cost of Android phones in emerging countries. Google had high hopes for the program, saying that it could add 5 billion users to the Androidsphere. So far, however, it looks like the program isn't succeeding. | http://recode.net/2015/06/11/beset-with-failures-google-tries-to-breathe-new-life-into-android-one/ | ||||

Q: How do we know it's not succeeding? Q: Is Google's strategy flawed? What is Google's strategy for reaching these markets? Q: Even if Google succeeded, would users in countries where data is expensive use Google's data-intensive services? And would it be profitable for Google? Q: Why didn't Google barely mention Android One or even the Nexus line during its Google I/O keynote last month. | Mark Bergen Associate editor, Recode @mhbergen | ||||
