The "right to be forgotten" is a legal principle that allows individuals to request the removal of their personal information from search engines and online platforms, particularly when the data is deemed inaccurate, unfair, or irrelevant. This concept is rooted in the idea that individuals should have control over their personal information and the ability to regain their privacy in the digital age.
I agree with the EU's decision that people should have the ability to ask Google to remove certain search results. This empowers individuals to protect their reputations and personal lives from the potentially damaging effects of misinformation and outdated content. However, it is essential to balance this right with the public's interest in accessing information, ensuring that removal requests are handled judiciously and fairly.
