[Manila Principles] IGF workshop: The 'Right to Be Forgotten' and Privatized Adjudication

[Jeremy Malcolm]

On 8 December at 3pm Central Time, a workshop titled "The 'Right to Be
Forgotten' and Privatized Adjudication" will be held at the Internet
Governance Forum in Guadalajara, Mexico. The description of the workshop
is as follows:

    Over two years have passed since the Court of Justice of the
    European Union ruled, in the Google Spain case, that the search
    engine must “de-list” certain search results on request in order to
    honor the requesters’ data protection rights. The policy
    consequences of that high profile ruling have been felt around the
    world. This panel will examine how the so-called “Right to Be
    Forgotten” ruling has been embraced, criticized, and adapted in
    other countries. In particular, it will ask how different cultures
    and legal systems have addressed the role of private Internet
    intermediaries in resolving difficult conflicts between privacy and
    free expression -- and what lessons can be learned from their
    experiences. 


    This topic highlights a key issue for Internet governance and
    inclusive and sustainable growth: the role of Internet platforms in
    defining and enforcing individual Internet users’ rights online.
    Governments are increasingly turning to these private companies as
    de facto regulators of a broad swath of speech. The “Right to Be
    Forgotten” has been a high profile, large scale test case. From this
    discussion, we can learn what benefits and what costs Internet users
    have seen, and how to move toward sustainable models going forward.


The moderator is Daphne Keller from Stanford University and the expected
panelists are Luiz Moncau also from Stanford, Lina Ornelas from Google,
KS Park from Open Net Korea, Christian Borggreen from CCIA, Cedric
Lauren from SonTusDatos in Mexico, and Jeremy Malcolm from the
Electronic Frontier Foundation.
