The right to be forgotten – a right in the digital world

Abstract

The internet has become a tool for storing memories. Owing to its dynamics and nature, the uploaded information begins to live and evolve. Access to information and the possibility to create or modify information has never been as easy as when the internet became widespread. The control of information is hindered, if not impossible. The autonomy of content, and its evolution in the network, which is not entirely left without control, may raise concerns. That is why the European legislator seeks to regulate the management of information on the internet. The unprecedented judgment of the Court of Justice gives individuals the right to be forgotten on the internet. In the era of new media, the judgment becomes a beacon determining the direction to be taken by the legislation.
