In May
2014, the
European Court
of Justice
ruled that
Google must
recognize
European
citizens'
"right to be
forgotten" by
removing links
to articles
and other
Internet
content about
them that they
would prefer
to have
"forgotten" --
even if such
content is
truthful and
accurate.
Google has
since received
hundreds of
thousands of
requests to
remove links
to content
that
requesters
would rather
have
"forgotten."
What does this
ruling mean
for the future
of freedom of
expression and
information on
the Internet?
Professor
Jeffrey Rosen
will deliver his
address on
"Should There Be
a Right to be
Forgotten?" Professors
Meg Ambrose of
Georgetown
University and
Arturo Carrillo
of GW Law will
serve as
commentators,
before opening
the floor to
questions from
the public.
This event
is sponsored
by GW Law's
Global
Internet
Freedom &
Human Rights
Project and is
the third
seminar in the
University
Seminar Series
"Our Networked
Future:
Emerging
Issues in
Internet
Governance and
Freedom,"
organized by
Professors
Arturo
Carrillo, Dawn
Nunziato,
William
Youmans, Lance
Hoffman, and
Susan
Aaronson.
