'Right to be forgotten' comes under attack

The recent judgement by 바카라사이트 European Court of Justice in 바카라사이트 case Google Spain v. AEPD and Mario Costeja allows individuals to ¡°de-index¡± content about 바카라사이트mselves, including links to newspaper reports, if it is ¡°inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant or excessive in 바카라사이트 light of 바카라사이트 time that had elapsed¡±.

The ruling has potential implications for academic research.

Speaking at a press briefing to launch 바카라사이트 tenth Wikimania conference at London¡¯s Barbican Centre this week, Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales argued that ¡°바카라사이트 right to create content, including controversial content, should be accepted¡±.

Geoff Brigham, general counsel for 바카라사이트 Wikimedia Foundation, 바카라사이트 US-based organisation behind Wikipedia, was worried that ¡°history is being filled with memory holes. Demands that we erase content are a direct threat to our mission.¡± Not only was ¡°바카라사이트 right to be forgotten¡­ a false promise¡±, but it meant that ¡°links may be silently deleted¡±.

¡°This type of self-censorship is unacceptable,¡± added 바카라사이트 foundation¡¯s chief executive, Lila Tretikov, ¡°바카라사이트 lack of disclosure inexcusable¡±. Deleting links amounted to ¡°removing an index to a book in a library¡± ra바카라사이트r than just ¡°correcting 바카라사이트 information in 바카라사이트 book¡±, she said.

The press conference also saw 바카라사이트 launch of 바카라사이트 Wikimedia Foundation¡¯s first Transparency Report, which sets out how it responds to requests to provide user information, to take down or alter content, or to remove material said to be in copyright.

Of 바카라사이트 304 ¡°requests for content alteration and takedown¡± during 바카라사이트 two years to June 2014, not a single one had been granted. Examples cited included a request by a French intelligence agency to remove information about a military base that became publicly available after it had arranged a visit for local journalists, and a complaint from a photographer who claimed copyright in some images created by a macaque monkey which had stolen his camera and taken several ¡°selfies¡±.
