Recht auf Vergessenwerden

Dangers to the general right of personality protected by fundamental rights emanate not only from the media, but increasingly also from search engines. The potential for infringement is much greater than in the analog era, because the "Net forgets nothing" and infringements of personality rights are ubiquitous for everyone and at any time. Article 17 of the GDPR does constitute a right to be forgotten, but the provision does not specify the criteria to be applied. In this respect, the work deals with the question of whether a harmonization of the balancing system under data protection law with the balancing system under the law of expression is necessary in the case of delisting claims against search engines.
