Google Inc. challenged five rulings by Spain’s data privacy agency ordering the company to exclude content from its search results at the country’s National Court.

Google lawyers told the Madrid court that regulators are harming the freedom of expression by forcing the company to remove information from search results generated from data on third-party web sites. The agency is classifying Google as a publisher of information, rather than an intermediary, the lawyer, Javier Aparicio, said today.
