According to foreign media reports, the Canadian Supreme Court said on Wednesday that Google must remove some of the global search results, the ruling may threaten the freedom of speech on the Internet.

The case originated from a Canadian network equipment maker Equustek Solutions, Equustek previously filed a lawsuit with Datalink Technologies, a product produced by Datalink, and then sold it on the Internet as its own product and acquired The company's trade secrets to design and produce a competitive product.

Equustek asked Google to remove Datalink related search results, Google did do so, but only in the Google Canada website to clear the relevant search results.

Thereafter, the Supreme Court ordered Google to stop displaying search results related to the Datalink site in any country. But Google believes that this involves the issue of freedom of speech, then filed an appeal.
