To Enisa the 'right to be forgotten' is not so easy to get
·
The proposal of the European Union to help people to get their data to be removed entirely from Google, Facebook and other sites faces some technical challenges, especially in the era of Big Data. This was said Enisa, the European IT security agency, in a document.
What has been called 'right to be forgotten' will be included in the upcoming data protection regulation from the European Commission and aims that people can use social networks and other online services to make your photos and other personal data removed on request. This week Enisa has published a white paper that contains a number of technical problems that show that implementing this part of the law is more complicated than it seems.
"To any reasonable interpretation of the right to be forgotten, a purely technical and comprehensive solution to enforce this right in an open Internet is generally impossible," the agency says in its report, which also calls for an "interdisciplinary approach".
Although no specific data that can be removed with less problems, such as images and public post, the situation becomes more complicated when we get into the realm of Big Data, which is any information that has been analyzed to generate studies. The key issue is how to vary the results of a study that could extract data that were used to generate statistics.
Google and Facebook, which sell advertising to users after analyzing data from users, will have to comply with requests from people to remove the data. The standard applies to social networks and search engines, but not to the platforms that store data without processing, the European Commission said after Google complained that the proposals were unreasonable for service providers line.
To Enisa, the main difficulty is that the regulation is too vague in its terms. For example, not clear who has the right to request the removal of the data or what are the acceptable forms of "forgetting" the data.
European cybersecurity agency says in his paper that the data protection authorities should work to that definitions are as clear as possible. Also recommended is forced to search engines and other services that share data within the European Union that filter data references "forgotten" stored outside the old continent.
Introduced last January, the Regulation of Data Protection is now struggling before they reach the final proposals to the European Parliament.
