The Press and the Right to be Forgotten
Is the internet becoming an unforgiving,
perpetual panopticon or should it help us discover if a paedophile has moved
into the house next door?
My research interests include the impact of, and
factors behind, the creation in the 2014
Google Spain judgment of the so-called legal ‘right to be forgotten’(RTBF) in EU states; the news media’s reaction to it; and whether it might be
extended to erase some content in news media archives accessible to the public.
How should media
organisations react ethically to the apparently wide variety of RTBF-type
requests made directly to them for the erasure of material they have already
published online legally for years?
