[liberationtech] The right to be forgotten

[Paul Bernal (LAW)]

In case anyone's interested, I've written a short piece (about 1,000 words) for the Open Rights Group zine about the right to be forgotten - a kind of 'right to be forgotten for dummies'. The idea's to give a sense of what the right actually is - rather than how it's presented in the media - and what the key issues are around it, including those that make it such a bone of contention between Europe and the US…

You can find it here:

…but if anyone needs, I can post the whole thing here.

Regards

Paul
