Data Protection: forget about a “right to forget”

Last week, I had a speaking slot at the Westminster Media Forum’s event on “Social media, online privacy and the right to be forgotten”. My comment that the proposed “right to forget won’t work” was widely reported, so I think it is incumbent on me to detail the argument. I also think there is a better way of dealing with this issue through the use of the “right to object” to the processing. The “right to forget” is very laudable.
