The US Census Bureau has proposed criteria for four areas of the 2020 census. Comments are due on or before May 16, 2018.

Block Groups -- are statistical geographic subdivisions of a census tract defined for the tabulation and presentation of data from the decennial census and selected other statistical programs. Block groups form the geographic framework within which census blocks are numbered. There are no proposed changes to the existing block group criteria from the 2010 Census

See: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-02-15/pdf/2018-02624.pdf

Census County Divisions (CCDs) and Equivalent Entities for the 2020 Census

Census county divisions (CCDs) and equivalent entities are statistical geographic entities established cooperatively by the Census Bureau and officials of state and local governments in 21 states where minor civil divisions (MCDs) either do not exist or have been unsatisfactory for reporting census data. The primary goal of the CCD program is to establish and maintain a set of subcounty units that have stable boundaries and recognizable names.

See: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-02-15/pdf/2018-02622.pdf

Census Designated Places (CDPs) for the 2020 Census

Census designated places (CDPs)are statistical geographic entities representing closely settled, unincorporated communities that are locally recognized and identified by name. A CDP constitutes a single, closely settled center of population that is named.

See: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2018-02-15/pdf/2018-02623.pdf

Census Tracts for the 2020 Census

Census tracts are relatively permanent small- area geographic divisions of a county or statistically equivalent entity defined for the tabulation and presentation of data from the decennial census and selected other statistical programs. The primary goal of the census tract is to provide a set of nationally

consistent small, statistical geographic units, with stable boundaries, that facilitate analysis of data across time. A census tract should contain 1,200 people or 480 housing units at minimum, and 8,000 people or 3,200 housing units at maximum. Census tracts must not cross county or state boundaries. This criterion takes precedence over all other criteria or requirements. Exceptions are recognized for American Indian reservations (AIRs) and off-reservation trust lands (ORTLs).

The IAJGS Records Access Alert reported in January 2017 about a case before the Dublin Circuit Court which found in favor of an individual who petitioned to have his name removed from a Google link. The case was brought by politician Mark Savage, which challenged both Google, Ireland and the Data Protection Commissioner’s decision that his privacy was not breached by Google’s refusal to remove a link. Mr. Savage wanted Google, Ireland to remove a link to a Reddit post which describes him as homophobic. Reddit is defined on their website as a social news aggregation, web content rating, and discussion website. The case was appealed to Ireland's High Court which found for the Data Commissioner and Google on February 16, 2018 overturning the Dublin Circuit Court previous ruling. This is the first "right to be forgotten" case concerning internet postings in Ireland.

The High Court said the " Circuit Court had not identified any serious error of law or fact in how the commissioner decided to reject Mark Savage’s complaint concerning Google’s refusal to re-index postings about him on the Reddit news website." Additionally, the High Court said " the Circuit Court had not applied the required legal test and had not identified any serious error of fact or law in how the commissioner approached her decision-making and did not give that decision “appropriate curial deference”. Google does not carry out editing functions in respect of its activities and to mandate it to place quotation marks around a URL heading would oblige it to engage in an editing process not envisaged by the Google Spain decision". This reinstated the Irish Data Protection Commissioner's ruling. The case involved interpretation of the Data Protection Acts and legal decisions including the 2014 Google Spain case by the Court of Justice of the European Union which established the "right to be forgotten".

Google had argued that the Circuit Court ruling meant search engines would have to review billions of searches daily to decide if quotation marks must, as the Dublin District Court required, be placed around posts considered to be “opinion” rather than fact.

The Irish High Court is comprised of its president, 35 judges and additional judges being ex officio the Chief Justice, the President of the Court of Appeal, the President of the Circuit Court, and former chief justices and courts presidents who remain judges. Cases are normally heard by one judge as was in this case. To read more about this see: https://tinyurl.com/y74hfho3

The Case

Mr. Savage handed out leaflets during a 2014 campaign that used terminology about gays that was picked up by Reddit and the thread then described him as "homophobic". By searching his name on Google the Reddit thread would appear. Mr. Savage appealed to Google to delink the thread so when his name was searched the Reddit thread would no longer appear. Google declined. Mr. Savage then took the matter to the Data Protection Commissioner who found that Google did not violate the Data Protection Acts of 1988 and 2003. The regulation concerning the "right to be forgotten" becomes effective when the new Data Protection Regulation goes into effect on May 25, 2018. The right to be forgotten is not included in the earlier Data Protection Regulations. The Data Commissioner's position was that the comments expressed an opinion and not a fact in a context of a political election. Her legal counsel stated on her behalf that the public interest and freedom of expression vastly outweighed the right to privacy. Google's legal representative said they were not concerned with matters of opinion and should not be expected to investigate them. Since Mr. Savage decided to run for public office, his comments were then open for public comment. (http://www.thejournal.ie/right-to-be-forgotten-case-irish-court-2750318-May2016/)

Mr. Savage appealed the Data Commissioner's ruling to the Circuit Court which over turned the Data Commissioner's ruling, stating "the fundamental rights and legitimate interest of the Appellant had been prejudiced." The judge's view was that "individual Internet users could consult sites such as Reddit for verified facts given the way search engines operate." This case was then appealed to Ireland's High Court.

The IAJGS Records Access Alert previously reported that the Belgium Data Protection Commission has required Facebook to cease using "datr" cookies which Facebook places on people's browsers when they visit Facebook.com or click a Facebook "like" button or other websites allowing it to track the online activities of that browser. The tracking is for both Facebook users and visitors to the site. The "datr" cookie has been used for years. Facebook appealed the 2015 Belgian Court decision which found for the Data Privacy Commission.

On February 16 the appeals court ordered Facebook to stop tracking internet users in Belgium who have no accounts with Facebook or face a daily fine of 250,000 Euros. The maximum fine would be 100 million Euros or $125 million USD if it does not head the ruling. Facebook was also ordered to destroy all personal data obtained "illegally". Facebook was also ordered to publish the 84-page verdict on its own website and excerpts in Belgium's Dutch language and French language newspapers. The court said Facebook used its cookies to track people not only on its own website but also on third-party websites. Facebook said it intends to appeal the verdict. It said "People, also have the right not to have data collected on sites and apps off Facebook being used for ads." Further, Facebook said, "Over recent years we have worked hard to help people understand how we use cookies to keep Facebook secure and show them relevant content,"
