Just about to start. Jonathan Zittrain is also a former Trustee of the

at the Kaufman Center in NYC. In 2014, the European Union’s Court of
Justice determined that individuals have a right to be forgotten, “the
right—under certain conditions—to ask search engines to remove links with
personal information about them.” It is not absolute, but meant to be
balanced against other fundamental rights, like freedom of expression. In a
half year following the Court’s decision, Google received over 180,000
removal requests. Of those reviewed and processed, 40.5% were granted.
Largely seen as a victory in Europe, in the U.S., the reaction has been
overwhelmingly negative. Was this ruling a blow to free speech and public
information, or a win for privacy and human dignity? *For*: *Paul Nemitz*,
Dir. of Fundamental Rights & Citizenship, DG Justice & Consumers, EU
Commission; *Eric Posner*, Professor of Law, University of Chicago.
*Against*: *Andrew McLaughlin*, CEO, Digg and Instapaper & Fmr. Dir. of
Global Public Policy, Google; *Jonathan Zittrain*, Professor, Harvard Law &
Co-Founder, Berkman Center for Internet & Society. The vent will be webcast
