Privacy and the Right to be Forgotten

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

Among various concepts of privacy, right to be forgotten has become more significant in the recent years. One of the main reasons of this is the fact that right to be forgotten is fundamental in the digital age. The recent decision of European Court of Justice about Google has heated the debate over the right to be forgotten. Many people have described this as “making history” while some others have questioned the implementation of the decision.

This session aims to bring together leading representatives from a broad spectrum of stakeholder groups to discuss issues related to the right to be forgotten. 

Each speaker will be given 5-7 minutes to present his/her views on the issue. Then the floor will be open to participants also since the aim is to have an inclusive and open discussion on the subject. The social media contributors will also be given a voice by the moderator.
