Description
Ctrl + Z: A Digital Right to Be Forgotten The threat "This is going on your permanent record!" has never been more pressing in the Internet Age, where information can last indefinitely. Data about us is created, shared, collected, analyzed, and processed at an overwhelming scale, with severe consequences for our personal lives. Law and technology scholar Meg Leta Jones argues that existing perspectives on data ownership and permanence are too limited, offering either easy forgetting or none at all. In Ctrl + Z, she breaks down the debate and provides guidance for a way forward, exploring new theories of privacy and the many potential applications of the right to be forgotten. Jones offers a nuanced approach, reflecting on legal cultures and analyzing international interoperability, to help us choose how to navigate this complex issue. By examining the digital information life cycle, she provides a framework for making informed decisions about our online presence.
