The ECJ ruling on Google Spain in 2014 turned the right to be forgotten into a global buzzword. Nearly half a million people have asked Google alone to de-list search results about them, with the company agreeing to this in 43% of cases. While low appeal rates appear to show that the decisions made are non-controversial, there are growing questions as to whether governments have out-sourced privacy policy to the commercial sector.
The Right to be Forgotten principle is undeniably spreading. Other countries – Canada, Korea, India – are also debating their own policies. In parallel, there are tests of the boundaries of the law – should RTBF have extra-territorial application? Does it also apply to digitised newspaper archives? Where do the boundaries lie with freedom of the press, and the integrity of the historical record?
This Hot Topic session will tackle the bleeding edge of the debate on the right to be forgotten, and the key questions which politicians, judges and internet actors will be forced to address in the coming months and years.
