Análisis comparativo de las resoluciones emitidas por el tribunal de justicia de la unión europea y el instituto federal de acceso y protección de datos respecto del motor de búsqueda gestionado por Google y la protección de datos personales

In January 2015, the Mexican agency in charge of assuring the correct use and exercise of the data protection rights, known as Instituto Federal de Acceso a la Información y Protección de Datos, answered a request from a citizen to protect his right of erasure and his right to object personal data processing, in this case against Google Mexico. To solve this case, the agency used as a reference the decision by the Court of Justice of the European Union of 13 May 2014 (Google Spain v AEPD and Mario Costeja). Due to the controversial content of such case, concerning freedom of speech and the right to information, it is highly relevant to ask whether its use as a guideline was pertinent. For this matter, this article makes a comparative analysis between both cases in order to establish their legal and contextual similarities and differences.
