Finding a balance between access to info and privacy

On June 28, a decision of European Court of Human Rights reanimated the debate about the Right To Be Forgotten. The court rejected the request to delete some content on a website, considering that the right to access to information prevailed. The court made an interesting distinction with the Right To Be Forgotten applied to search engines. Search engines and publishers have different purpose so the ECtHR refers to ECJ decision for the search engines.
