The Right To Be Forgotten

“The right to be forgotten” (RTBF), also known as the right to erasure, gives individuals the right to ask organisations to delete their personal data. It appears in Recitals 65 and 66 and in Article 17 of the GDPR.

Myth 1: “The Judgement Does Nothing For Citizens”

  • The right to be forgotten is about making sure that the people themselves – not algorithms – decide what information is available about them when their name is entered in a search engine.
  • In practice this means that a search engine will have to, subject to certain conditions being met, remove a search result linking to a specific webpage when it receives a request from a citizen.
  • Therefore, the judgement makes sure that citizens are in control of their personal data.

Myth 2: “The Judgement Entails The Deletion Of Content”

  • The judgement only concerns search engine results involving a person’s name.
  • The content remains unaffected by the request lodged with the search engine, in its original location on the internet.
  • The content can still be found through the same search engine based on a different query.

Myth 3: “The Judgement Contradicts Freedom Of Expression”

  • The RTBF, which is a part of the right to personal data protection, is not absolute. It is balanced against other fundamental rights.
  • That’s why the judgement limits the RTBF and recognises that there may be a public interest in all links to content remaining online.
  • RTBF applies only where the information is inaccurate, inadequate, irrelevant or excessive for the purposes of data processing.

Myth 4: “The Judgement Allows For Censorship”

  • RTBF does not allow governments to decide what can and cannot be online or what should or should not be read.
  • It is a right that citizens will invoke to defend their interests as they see fit. Independent authorities (national data protection authorities + national courts) will oversee the assessment carried out by the search engine operators.

Myth 5: “The Judgement Will Change The Way The Internet Works”

  • As content is not deleted, the internet does not have a diminished importance as a source of information. Takedown mechanism already existed before.

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
