Abstract | Since the introduction of new Webbased
technologies in the early 21st
century, Web 2.0 has presented two
confl icting dilemmas for many of us.
While we witness the unprecedented
blossoming of user-generated content,
there is also an urgent call for privacy
protection. In particular, online shaming,
exposure and social sanctions imposed
by netizens have become popular
and worrying. This phenomenon where
citizens “engage in social policing by
shaming transgressions via the Internet”
has left victims often with little recourse
through the avenues of defamation or privacy lawsuits. With the permanent
memory of the Internet and an easily
retrievable archival system, many also
question whether the present Web technologies
and its setup have violated the
societal belief in giving second chances
to people to begin a new life. Recently
in November 2011, the European Union
proposed reform of personal data protection
by advocating the “right to be
forgotten.” If this is implemented, inevitably
this would have direct impact on
Google, Youtube, Facebook and other
social networking sites. Thus, through
the study and analysis of the above phenomenon,
and an examination of the
“right to be forgotten,” I would like to
explore the interrelationship between
privacy, personality right, and freedom
of expression from a legal and social perspective.
My tentative argument is that:
other than adopting a substantive human
right based analysis, the protection
of personality and personal data may be
better protected through the due process
of information management. |
