The Right To Be Forgotten in Google, Eu ruling

The Right to be forgotten in Google Nobody likes to be reprimanded for something they did 15 years back. Imagine a situation where your prospective employer does a google search of you and finds something objectionable that you did a decade back which you probably don’t even remember now.   It is a situation which you really don’t want to get in. Internet is just a few years old but remember a situation when internet has been around for 100 years and with everything going electronic just imagine how many megabytes of your info would be there in internet space ready for anyone to get their hands on. Internet never forgets and if it is something that you haven’t uploaded yourself on internet it is almost impossible to delete. So a search engine like google which properly indexes your information and make it available in few seconds becomes a dangerous tool. So owing to this right of privacy a European court issued a ruling recently that Citizens have a “right to be forgotten,”. This right will now allow European citizens to order Google to remove links to information about the citizens that the citizens don’t like This whole thing snowballed when a Spaniard seeking to have outdated information about himself removed from the Internet. His quest began when he found some unflattering information about him on internet which was more than 14 years old and wanted it to be erased. Specifically, in 2010 Mario Costeja asked for the removal of links to a 1998 newspaper notice that his property was due to be auctioned because of an unpaid welfare debt. A Spanish privacy agency agreed to his request, but Google protested, saying it should not have to censor links to information that was legal and publicly available. A top Spanish court asked the European court for an interpretation of how European privacy law applies to search-engine results, and got a broader ruling than it had asked for. Eventually the court ordered Google to remove links to archived newspaper pages that contained the old information after Gonzalez sued Google and the newspaper in 2010. People are vulnerable and it is sometimes you are in a situation without fault of yours .During the Cold War, we despised totalitarian regimes that kept a dossier on every citizen, holding compromising information in store for the day that it served to discredit him or her. FBI kept files on dissidents in the ’60s and ’70s, thanks to Edward Snowden we came to know that the NSA is spying on us. Nobody thinks that is a good thing. We do not want to live in a world where information about you is constantly gathered, indexed and stored with you having no control over it It is understandable that you cannot remove any piece of history no matter how brutal it is such as hiding somebodies involvement in the Holocaust. In fact, public figures and public events will never be erased. This ruling is for you, the average Joe, Sam and Jose who just wants to live an obscure and private life. If you lived in Europe, you would have regained that right and for others only time will tell, but this verdict does give a ray of hope
