Enact Law On The Right To Be Forgotten

In a digital world where most facets of life are documented and shared, personal information control has become increasingly important. Different requests can be made by individuals to call for specific personal data to be erased from the internet, especially when such information is old, irrelevant, or injurious to their reputation. This might encompass the broad concepts of privacy and human decency in general. A clear example of the application of this right is the 2014 ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Union in case Google Spain SL, Google Inc. v. Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (AEPD), Mario Costeja González wherein the High Court validated that Google must erase the links stating that González's name is tagged by some articles by old newspapers, as the information is no longer relevant.
