The Right to Be Forgotten Across the Pond

Abstract: Are you unclear about the European Commission's 2012 draft Data Protection Regulation proposing a qualified “right to be forgotten?” That's not surprising, say Meg Ambrose and Jef Ausloos. Their in-depth analysis finds a bifurcated social and legal history, divergent conceptions of the “right,” and alternative options for implementation. They contrast a right to “oblivion” (full deletion of certain public data) with a “right to erasure” (removal of personal data provided for automated processing) and find them… Show more

“…Inserido no campo protetivo da privacidade, o direito ao esquecimento consiste, de forma ampla, em uma prerrogativa jurídica do indivíduo em apagar ou ocultar determinadas informações pessoais ou mesmo exigir de terceiros o seu não compartilhamento com o escopo de assegurar sua autonomia informacional e autogovernar a própria memória (Ambrose;Ausloos, 2013;Sarlet, 2018).…”

“…A primeira é tratada como direito ao esquecimento em sentido estrito ("right to oblivion"), isto é, a dissociação do indivíduo com um passado ilícito, criminoso. A segunda concepção é do direito de apagar ("right to erasure"), a qual indica a faculdade da pessoa em apagar definitivamente informações que lhe dizem respeito de algum banco de dados (Ambrose;Ausloos, 2013). Esta última acepção ganha relevância e atenção com as tecnologias da informação e o meio virtual, pois possibilitam uma coleta indiscriminada, uma manutenção eterna e incontáveis possibilidades de processamento dos dados pessoais (Mendes, 2014).…”

“…However, while these definitions may seem fairly straightforward, they faced a number of criticisms from legal scholars. For example, Meg Leta Ambrose and Jef Ausloos (2013) argued that the ‘Proposal’ was open to misinterpretation within the European Data Protection Regulation framework and risked conflating the droit à l’oubli (right to oblivion) with the right to erasure (RtE):The two have led to much confusion. Oblivion is founded upon protections against harm to dignity, personality, reputation, and identity but has the potential to collide with other fundamental rights.…”

“…Erasure, on the contrary, refers to mechanized data created passively and is not intended to apply to content created by others. Time is also a factor here; oblivion allows information to be less accessible with time, whereas erasure is not necessarily time-dependent (Ambrose and Ausloos, 2013: 15). Because it involves the removal of publicly available data, the RtE is legally distinct from privacy rights, which require that data are inaccessible in the public realm (EC, 2014a).…”
