| Details | This study attempts to conceptualise the right to forget/be forgotten, which would have to be protected by a legal scheme, along with building a theoretical foundation of this individual's right and to examine the social necessity to establish the right in the current socio-economic and technological environment. The permeation of information and communication technology centred on database and network technology throughout society has brought about the progress of artificialisation or externalisation of human memory and this forces people to refresh their memory or prohibits them from forgetting the past of them through being provided the personalised, paternalistic services based on digital records stored in the external human memory. The forced remembrance has harmful effects on personal identity development and intellectual ability and therefore establishing the human right to forget/be forgotten is socially significant. |
