Draft of Background and Problem Definition of Research Proposal
Background to the problem
The ‘right to be forgotten’ act introduced by the management of Google acted as a curse for the firm.
Due to this, almost 218320 links are requested by the individuals of diverse regions to get removed
wholly from the list. The prime reason behind this is that, among the above figure, , 99569 are based
on the personal lives, that might hinder the privacy. Contrary to this, it is argued by Guardian (2017)
that Google is a search engine for gathering information and facts and deletion of varied data leads to
hampering the speech of freedom or knowledge. This might prove troublesome for the firm resulting
in the downfall of the brand image and reputation in the long run.
• In regard to this, Google lost a wide range of customers and clients that would diminish its
reputation and trust in the global market. Therefore, in order to retain its position, Google
implemented an idea of altering the exact names of the individual, on which the result is presented.
Doing so, proved effective for Google to preserve the facts that may be utilised for the attainment
of knowledge as highlighted in the freedom of expression right. However, it is argued mentioning
that, seclusion is much more essential for a human being as compared to others by the supreme
court of EU, USA and UK. Considering this, Google had to remove the desired links from the
.com as well as google.co.uk, Google. De, Google, fr. So that, nobody may not hamper the
personal lives of any individual by knowing the private facts. Hence, Google introduced the right
but the deletion requests need to present exact documents to the higher officials, prior acceptance.
If the documents are found to be accurate by the senior members of the Google, then the
requirement of elimination would get granted entirely. Otherwise, it would not be implemented
(Guardian, 2017).
• At the same time, the human entities suffering from the threat of harassment or terror might be
safegua
