The “right to be forgotten” is a legal concept that grants individuals the ability to request the removal of their personal information from online platforms .It originated from a ruling by the European Court of Justice in 2014, stating that search engines should consider removing links to outdated or irrelevant information about individuals upon request. The rationale behind this right is to protect the individual’s privacy and allow them to control their presence .Supporters argue that people should have ability to move on from past mistakes or unwanted information that may have a negative impact on their personal or professional lives .They believe that individuals should have the right to control the information that is associated with their identity and that outdated or inaccurate information should not continue to haunt them indefinite. In India, the case of Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India framed the debate on data protection and privacy, with the Supreme Court recognizing the right to privacy as a fundamental right. Standing and Parliamentary Committees have also recommended the need for specific regulations on data protection and privacy. In May 2018, the Justice B.N. Sri Krishna Committee proposed a new data protection bill, which includes provisions for the 'Right to be Forgotten' to safeguard personal data. However, Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad submitted The Personal Data Protection Bill to the Lok Sabha on December 11,2019. On the other hand, opponents of the “right to be forgotten” raise concerns about potential limitations on freedom of expression and access to information. They argue that removing information from the internet can hinder the public’s right to know and impede the historical record .They also express concerns about the potential for abuse, where individuals may attempt to suppress information that is in the public interest or relevant to ongoing discussions. Implementing the “right to be forgotten” requires a careful balance between privacy and freedom of information .It involves assessing the individual’s right to privacy against the public’s right to access the information. Different jurisdictions have approached this issue differently, with some countries enacting legislation to enforce the “right to be forgotten”, while others have taken a more cautious approach. Ultimately, whether the “right to be forgotten” should be implemented or not is a complex question that requires careful consideration of competing interests involved. It involves weighing the individual’s right to privacy and potential benefits of allowing people to control their online presence against the potential limitations on freedom of expression and access to information.
