Google already censors its search results and has done so for a long time. It does so voluntarily in some cases, and when legally instructed to do so in others. Its censorship policies have also changed over time. Clearly, Google does not embody some immutable principle of internet freedom. Google also censors its search results on a country-by-country basis. Hence neither can it claim to be upholding a universal concept.

Because the justice system in each country is sovereign, following the instructions of a Canadian court sets no precedent in any other country. Google can abide by the Canadian court ruling, but choose to act differently under alternative circumstances in other countries. So why wouldn't they? While imperfect, Canada's justice system is well-respected and its Supreme Court is held in high esteem. Google can honour the ruling, but still choose to ignore a ruling of some corrupt justice system elsewhere. Problem solved, no?
