Can I just add, for anyone who could not attend, that this was a superb
event and it will be worth a look at the transcripts. Even if those of us
who largely agreed with Prof. Dutton appeared to be in the minority ;)

Subject: [data-protection] Transcripts from OxPILS "The "Right to be
Forgotten" and Beyond: DP and Freedom of Expression in the Age of Web 2.0"
now available

 

Dear All,

 

Just a note to say that transcripts from all the presentations made at
recent Oxford Privacy Information Law and Society (OxPILS) Conference on
“The “Right to be Forgotten” and Beyond:  Data Protection and Freedom of
Expression in the Age of Web 2.0” are now online at
<http://www.csls.ox.ac.uk/conferences/oxpilsconference2012/report.php>
http://www.csls.ox.ac.uk/conferences/oxpilsconference2012/report.php.  

 

As well as myself, speakers included Professor Artemi Lombarti from Jaume I
University and formerly Director of the Spanish Data Protection Authority,
Professor Bill Dutton from the Oxford Internet Institute, David Smith from
the UK ICO, Rosemary Jay from Hunton & Williams, Peter Hustinx the European
Data Protection Supervisor, Anthony House from Google, Thomas Zerdick from
the European Commission, Jörg Polakiewicz from the Council of Europe and
Michael Donohue from the OCED.

 

A wide variety of topics were covered including:

 

·         the meaning and modalities of the Right to be Forgotten, 

·         the varied nature of the exemptions from Data Protection available
in EU Member States for journalism literature and the arts, 

·         the meaning of “journalism” and “purely domestic or household
activities” in the age of Web 2.0,

·         the challenges faced by DPAs in regulating the Press (an issue
also discussed in the context of the Leveson Inquiry), 

·         whether search engines are “data controllers” as regards their
public search functions (an topical issue given the pending European Court
of Justice case involving Google), 

·         the future of shape of European Union and other transnational
governance regimes in this area.

 

This Activity was generously carried out with funding from a Joint Programme
between the European Union <http://europa.eu/index_en.htm>  and the Council
of Europe <http://www.coe.int/>  as well as the University of Oxford's Law
Faculty <http://www.law.ox.ac.uk>  Research Support Fund.   (The views
expressed were solely and exclusively those of the individuals speaking).

Thanks very much for everyone on this Listserv who supported this Conference
and looking forward to continuing the discussion on these important issues.

All best,

David Erdos
