Remembering and Forgetting in the Digital Age

Beschreibung

This book examines the fundamental question of how legislators and other rule-makers should handle remembering and forgetting information (especially personally identifiable information) in the digital age. It encompasses such topics as data protection, collective memory, privacy and the right to be forgotten when considering data storage and deletion. The authors argue in support of maintaining the new digital default, that (personally identifiable) information should be remembered rather than forgotten. 

This book will appeal to economists, lawyers, philosophers, sociologists, historians, anthropologists, and psychologists among many others. Such wide appeal is due to its rich and interdisciplinary approach to the challenges for individuals and society at large with regard to this aspect of human experience in the digital age. 

Challenges long-established but questionable principles of data protection law that are unfit for the digital age

Covers topics of remembering and forgetting, data protection and privacy from a holistic, future-oriented and interdisciplinary approach

Analyzes the present legal framework with a view to shaping future legislation, considering how legislators and rule-makers should approach today’s data
