Un'opinione forse scontata ma interessante sulle implicazioni del diritto all'oblio publicata sul NY Times di oggi:
"In
a concession to regulators, Google is changing that now, using
“geo-blocking” technology to control what European users can see. Under
the new system, Google will not only remove links on, say,
google.fr,
but it will block users in France from seeing those links on any other
Google country site, or
google.com itself. Unless they use tools like
virtual private networks to disguise their locations, users in those
countries will see pruned search results.
Some
say this is a logical solution — avoiding global deletion, while
letting a sovereign state enforce its laws, within its borders. But it
is a big step away from the Internet’s promise of universally accessible
information, and a big step toward a world of “splinternets.”
[...]
Privacy is a real issue, and shouldn’t be ignored in the Internet age. But applying those national laws to the Internet needs to be handled with more nuance and concern. These developments should not be driven only by privacy regulators. State departments, trade and justice ministries and telecom regulators in France and other European countries should be demanding a place at the table. So should free-expression advocates."
