Right to be Forgotten

The Right to be Forgotten is a legal concept that allows individuals to request the removal of personal information from internet searches and databases. This right aims to protect privacy by enabling people to erase data that is outdated, irrelevant, or harmful to their reputation. It has gained prominence in the European Union, where individuals can contact search engines to have certain links removed. While this right respects personal privacy, it also raises questions about freedom of information and the balance between individual rights and public interest in accessing information.
