Dear All, I have been thinking about the recent ECJ ruling on the right to be forgotten. While the issue seems to affect Google more than public authorities, for the moment, I wanted to explore the issue of memory. In particular, does this suggest that those organisations that become more linked to the web that they too will become contested places of memory? I am particularly interested in the challenge to memory and what memory means in the age of the web. To explore some of these issues, I wrote a blog post about what I see as the three main types of memory, the state, the corporation, and the individual that are affected. http://thoughtmanagement.org/2014/05/22/has-ecjs-google-ruling-made-us-forget-there-are-other-memories/ I would be interested in your views, after reading it, as to whether the ECJ ruling does more to enhance memory or whether it diminishes it.
