My concern is that the policy talks about ‘the right to be forgotten’ but
the bill doesn’t have a section on it. One can only delete misleading
information which is rather too limiting. The legal standards we are trying
to catch up with included the right to be forgotten in 2014 yet our draft
law doesn’t have it in 2018. The right should be there…maybe with
limitations. I don’t think limiting it to ‘false or misleading data’ is in
good faith.
