Why was Google fined €100,000?

【正确答案】 B
【答案解析】

正确答案为选项B,该选项说原因是“不完全清理网络搜索结果”,这与录音中 所说的 for inadequate scrubbing of web search results 意思一致。选项 A 错在说的是相 反的意思“没有充分显示网页搜索结果” 。选项C 说是因为没有在网页搜索结果中显示欧盟的裁决,这是混淆了事件关系,因为录音提到欧洲裁决时说的是对谷歌进 行罚款处理的依据( in response to a European privacy ruling )。选项D 与 C 意思相反,但都是张冠李戴,混淆了事件关系。

理解 inadequate scrubbing of web search results in response to a European privacy ruling的确切含义。

[录音原文]
Alphabet’s Google is fined €100,000 for inadequate scrubbing of web search results in response to a European privacy ruling. In May 2014 the European Court of Justice ruled that people could ask search engines to remove inadequate or irrelevant information from web results appearing under searches for people’s names. The ruling is dubbed the “right to be forgotten”.
