Summary
Since the CJEU’s ruling of May 2014 in the Google Spain case (also known as the Costeja case), the “right to be forgotten” on the internet has been hotly debated in Europe and beyond. The Court in Strasbourg has been reluctant so far in upholding erasure or anonymisation of news archives (or parts of them), but it suggested that ‘less restrictive measures’ might be tolerable. The latter arguably enables one to tailor approaches to what the balancing requires in individual cases.
