ABSTRACT

Internet technology continues to develop, more and more citizens’ data and information has been infringed upon, China's existing personality right protection system can not fully meet the needs of citizens' growing personal information protection, so the right to be forgotten as a new type of right to protect personal information data for the purpose of its introduction into our country has a certain degree of necessity. The right to be forgotten can effectively solve the problem of the permanence of Internet memory, better improve China's personality right protection system, and protect citizens' personal information. The article analyses the composition of the right to be forgotten and the boundary between the right to be forgotten and the right to delete, so as to explore the necessity and feasibility of legal transplantation of the right to be forgotten.

KEYWORDS
