Is there anything about you on the internet you wish you could take down?
This week Arj is joined by Jonathan Gadir to discuss the "right to be forgotten" or "right to erasure" - a provision in data protection regulations overseas that is being considered as part of the reforms to the Australian Privacy Act.
Overseas, the right has enabled individuals to have newspaper articles about them de-indexed from search engines.
We discuss the merits of the right, competing values like freedom of expression, and the prospect of it being implemented in Australia.
