Not Forgetting Just Obscuring: American and European Attempts to Maintain Privacy in the Digital Age
Abstract
The note explores the concept of the right to obscurity as a subset of privacy rights, distinguishing it from the right to be forgotten. It examines how this right is addressed in E.U. and U.S. law, highlighting the E.U.'s robust framework under the GDPR and the more limited, sector-specific protections in the U.S. The analysis emphasizes the importance of balancing individual privacy rights with freedom of expression and the public interest, advocating for a proactive approach to data control rather than retroactive deletion.
