O direito ao esquecimento na era da sociedade da informação

Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the possibility of applying the right to forgetfulness in the digital society. It is necessary to discuss the issue, since the advent of technology led to a true media revolution and access to information, which were facilitated with the emergence of the internet. In this way, the internet is understood in an environment that never forgets, since the information is easily divulged and perpetuated on the web, giving information of facts that happened in the past, being able to be accessed from anywhere, at any time. In this work, a detailed analysis is sought of the various legal institutes that cover this emerging right, including freedom of expression and of the press, the right to information, privacy and intimacy and, above all, the principle of human dignity. In addition, through a method of bibliographical research, with a deductive-inductive model, we have answered some questions pertinent to the thematic one listed.
