Eric Goldman provides an insightful overview/primer of the European Court of Justice’s finding a few months ago (much to Google’s chagrin) that, indeed, folks have a right to be forgotten – on the internet. Goldman notes that “American law would not permit a similar result” for Constitutional reasons (i.e. freedom of speech & press) — though California has such a protective measure in place, which goes into effect in 2015, for minors who wish to delete online content they themselves have posted (third-party postings excluded). The in-depth “overview” and analysis of the Google pummeling is available here.
