From what i have read on mashable, internet users from Europe are getting control over information posted online, thanks to the reforms lawmakers proposed to protect digital privacy.
The proposed law, a “right to be forgotten” and a “right to data portability” requires Internet companies such as Facebook and Google to delete all info from their servers if requested by the online users and allow to transfer data from one online server to another, a not so easy task for them. But ofcourse this “right to be forgotten” law can’t be granted by users attempting to delete info’s related to criminal investigation.

This proposed law will need approval from the EU’s member state followed by the ratification from European Parliament that takes up to two years to be approved. But when that time comes, this law unify all 27 EU member states under a single set of privacy rules.

Viviane Reding, a spokeperson for European Union justice commissioner, and Matthew Newman, said that the proposed law are for protecting young people because we, yes we i’m included because im still young , are not aware that there are always consequences in putting pictures and personal details on social networking sites.

You, as an Internet user, do you think we should be granted a “right to be forgotten” law? Care to share what’s on your mind right now? Because me, i don’t want to be forgotten. If you know what i mean, hehe.
