Last night, the Central Bank (Amendment) Bill 2025 was introduced in the Dáil by Robert Troy, Minister of State at the Department of Finance. The bill seeks to ensure cancer survivors can't be discriminated against when it comes to obtaining certain insurance products due to their medical history. Robert Troy, Minister of State at the Department of Finance joined Tom this morning on the show.

Up to quite recently, if you had had a cancer diagnosis, you probably found it next to impossible to get life insurance cover even if you were fully recovered. There has been a code of practice in place from the insurance industry for the past year but no legislation. Now the insurance industry has stepped back and is supporting laws to enshrine the so-called “right to be forgotten“ when it comes to cancer survivors. Speaking to Joe this morning was Robert Troy the Minister of State at the Department of Finance with special responsibility for Insurance.

Pat Walshe, Data Protection Officer at Brave, discusses the intersection of artificial intelligence, privacy, and data protection…and how these elements intertwine with fundamental human rights in the digital realm. He also scrutinizes tech industry giants, questioning the authenticity of their privacy claims and the efficacy of their data protection measures.

The Privacy Commissioner wants to review the Privacy Act and introduce a right to be forgotten. He's concerned social media is posing a major risk for children's privacy and parents need help navigating it. A survey by his office raised concerns around young people not having the capacity to make fully informed decisions about their digital footprint and its implications later down the line. Michael Webster told Heather du Plessis-Allan the right to be forgotten should be a fundamental one. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let's start by acknowledging a simple truth: the internet, for all its vastness, is not immune to the ravages of time and technology. Websites go down, social media platforms become obsolete, and digital content can be lost in the blink of an eye. The servers and domains that host our digital selves are as mortal as we are. So, does this mean that our digital existence is fated to fade away as we do? Not necessarily.

GDPR provides a "right to be forgotten," whereby individuals can demand the removal of PII from IT systems. This can run directly contrary to the transparency and permanence built into the DNA of public PKI systems. We explore this conundrum.

In online news, stories live forever. The tipsy photograph of you at the college football game? It's there. That news article about the political rally you were marching at? It's there. A charge for driving under the influence? That's there, too. But what if... it wasn't? Several years ago a group of journalists in Cleveland, Ohio, tried an experiment that had the potential to turn things upside down: they started unpublishing content they'd already published. Photographs, names, entire articles. Every month or so, they met to decide what content stayed, and what content went. In this episode from 2019, Senior Correspondent Molly Webster takes us inside the room where the editors decided who, or what, got to be deleted. And we talk about how the “right to be forgotten” has spread and grown in the years since. It's a story about time and memory, mistakes and second chances, and society as we know it.

According to an article in the Independent today a convicted criminals were able to get search results for articles about them taken off Google under the ‘right to be forgotten'. It's raised the question then, how easy is this process and how come Google seems to be able to hold this power? Is the public interest considered throughout this process? And what's the criteria to get yourself removed from Google searches? To answer these questions and more, Sean was joined by Eoin O'Dell, Senior Lecturer in Law at Trinity College.

Irish cancer survivors say they are left unable to access insurance or mortgages years after recovery. They say that having to disclose their diagnosis, even if they're in remission, prevents them from getting things like life insurance or a mortgage. They say it's discriminatory and the ‘Right to Be Forgotten' must be adopted into Irish Law. However, the insurance industry is pushing back. Andrea was joined by Ciarán, Erica, Paul Merriman, Financial Adviser from askpaul.ie and other listeners to discuss…

At the weekend the Sunday Business Post had a story about the Irish insurance industry blocking attempts to introduce a ‘right to be forgotten' law so that long-recovered cancer survivors wouldn't have to declare anything when applying for life insurance or mortgage protection cover. The Irish cancer society says this is a major issue. Speaking to Joe this morning Denis Eustace covers life assurance with Progressive Financial Services.

Many cancer survivors in long-term remission are faced with restricted access to financial services because of their medical history. Some EU countries have already implemented the right to be forgotten - a right for patients to not disclose their medical history. In most countries, the requirement is for the patient to be cancer-free for 10 years, France has changed this time limit to 5 years. Changes across Europe are happening very slowly. The understanding of the problem is poor and needs a lot more awareness. The incidence of cancer is increasing, however, at the same time, treatments are becoming more successful, returning long-lasting health to patients. Due to this scientific advancement, social care and policies should be changed as well.  Dr. Françoise Meunier is Member of the Belgian Royal Academy of Medicine, she was Director General of European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer for 24 years from 1991 to 2015. She is also a Scientific Member of the European Cancer Patient Coalition. She has been advocating for the right to be forgotten for almost 10 years. This is just an excerpt of a broader episode published in autumn 2022.

This is a topic we've wanted to discuss since early 2019, but teaching stints in Helsinki, and a global pandemic pushed it back almost three years. But we did not forget about the topic of The Right to Be Forgotten! However, in that time, even the phrasing of the topic has changed to The Right to Erasure. Our guest, Anne Klinefelter, Director of the Law Library and Henry P. Brandis Distinguished Professor of Law, catches us all up on the current issues surrounding data privacy and the Internet both here in the US, as well as in the EU. Klinefelter's view of privacy is that while we haven't done a great deal of work to protect individual's privacy in an economic model based on surveillance capitalism, we have done some things. Her vision of the future is that the Internet still has the capability of being the Utopia we once hoped it would be, but it will probably get far worse before it gets better. And those who benefited from the weak data privacy regulations may end up being the very people who come in and change it for the better. We also talked with Molly Huie from Bloomberg Law about the 2022 DEI Framework survey which is now open for law firms. Molly lists out a number of new data points included in the framework, including neurodiversity, origination credit, and partnership tracking topics in law firm diversity efforts.

Today on the show we tackle the complex subject surrounding the ‘right to be forgotten.' This is the regulation that offers various online protections to EU citizens but is not something that is widely adopted outside of Europe.  You might think that the laws and legislations around your online rights would be simple but as you will hear this is actually a complex issue as rules can easily cross boundaries of morality and freedom of speech.  For this episode we have brought in two guests to discuss different points of their experience around these rules. The first is Intellectual Property expert Elizabeth Ward who shares just what a minefield the regulations can be to in a legal context.  Our second guest is sports presenter Amy Christophers who has personal experience of enacting the right to be forgotten in order to have materials removed from the internet and shares the personal and professional cost of the process.   What is the Right to be Forgotten Legislation in relation to the right to be forgotten The challenges of taking down information from the internet What is the process of delisting How the Data Protection Act is used in law  Lawful processing to protect your IP The personal and professional tool of elicit materials being illegally shared  For more information on the subject covered today head to https://www.shieldyourbody.com/ for resources, in-depth articles, free tips and PDF guides to learn all about EMF, health and protection.  The Healthier Tech Podcast is the show bringing you a practical solutions-based approach to understanding how best to live in balance with our increasing reliance on tech. The show from Shield Your Body brings you expert voices that clearly explain the science that matters to you, and the usable tips that you can use to live healthier, while defending against the health risks of modern day technologies. 

The internet never forgets. It's an invaluable tool, but also one that provides little forgiveness for some individuals whose past run-ins with law enforcement, financial woes and photos of a night out on the town become publicized. We are coming to you in this episode with a primer on why the "right to be forgotten” became law in the European Union, and how the concept plays out in courtrooms and newsrooms across the United States as the government and the media try to determine what deeds can and should be erased from the internet at large. While the EU requires search engines to remove links in search results upon valid request, the U.S. has long sided with people's right to know and speak freely without fear of censorship. But that has not stopped the conversation from entering into our public discourse. 

If forgetting helps us forgive, how will the internet's relentless memory impact our ability to accept other people's past crimes and mistakes when we want parts of our life to be forgotten? In Part 1 of "The Right to Oblivion," when Evan Ratliff tries to erase his digital footprint and disappear for a Wired story, he realizes the fake identity he's created to mislead the people who want to find him has become part of his real life in unexpected ways.

Should people have the right to have their personal data deleted from databases and websites?

How far is too far when it comes to hiding the truth? Should companies be prohibited from reporting factual, public information? The differences between the EU and the US illustrate the fight for disclosure vs. the fight for privacy. More on Ted Claypoole. SPEAKERS Wayne Stacy, Ted Claypoole Wayne Stacy 00:00 Welcome, everyone to the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology's Expert Series podcast. This is Wayne Stacey. I'm the executive director for BCLT. And today we have Ted Claypool from the law firm of Womble Bond, Dickinson . Ted is based in Atlanta. And he's here today to talk to us about a really interesting concept and a set of phrasing that he's been using in the privacy world. So, with that in mind, Ted, thank you so much for joining us. Ted Claypoole 00:32 Thank you for having me, Wayne, I appreciate it. Wayne Stacy 00:35 Well, Ted, we've we've heard for a long time about the right to be forgotten. But you wrote an article that was really thought provoking that talked about the right to hide the truth, is what that really should be titled. Tell us tell us about that phrasing and how you came about it? Ted Claypoole 00:54 Well, I've been thinking about the right to be forgotten for a long time, I'm a privacy lawyer, I do a lot of work in this space, both in Europe and and in the US and back and forth. And it's essentially a European concept, the right to be forgotten, that is starting to move over here. Although I'll be interested to see how much foothold it gains in the US, given our different laws and our different views on forgetting truthful things. The people that advocate for it, have always called it the right to be forgotten. I've also heard it as least when you're talking about business, the right to be deleted, from people's records. But the truth is, the way it is used is essentially the right to hide the truth from people. Now, I make that distinction because we have laws here just like they do in Europe, that say if people tell lies about you, online or elsewhere, you have a number of rights in order to pull those down to sue those people in defamation cases, and to make sure that you can prove to the world that those things are lies. However, this is a whole different discussion because what Europe has been looking at very closely here is the right to take something in your past that actually happened, and then remove it from the public record. Now, there's lots of us that would like to do that. I know that, you know, I'm very glad that I'm an old guy. And that when I was a teenager and a 20-something I wasn't on the internet. So there's not a lot of record of me, saying things that I probably shouldn't have been saying. And that would come back to haunt me later on. However, saying and doing things in the past, are are things that can come back on you. And we in this country in particular, think that it's important that people are able to get as much information as possible so they can make a decision about someone. And if somebody saw things I said or did in the past, and said, "Boy, Ted's an idiot." I mean, first of all, they may be right. And second of all they have in this country in general, they have the right to look at that information, and try and make that decision. Wayne Stacy 03:30 Well, to put things in context, tell us how the this right to be forgotten, I'll use the the original name, how it came about, and kind of what the original facts were that that brought it to the public's attention? Ted Claypoole 03:44 We

Our brains are wired to forget. The internet, not so much. That mismatch is a risk to our humanity.  Now that the the European Court has ruled that there is a so-called 'right to be forgotten' online, Google must consider requests to remove some search results in the name of privacy. American commentators went nuts over this. Free speech would be lost, went the outcry. A right to know would be buried, echoed the refrain. But maybe Americans are seeing it wrong. This week New Tech City hears from a man with a heart-wrenching plea for Google to forget one macabre photo, from a German lawyer inundated with new clients trying to jump on the forgetting bandwagon, and we talk to the philosopher Viktor Mayer-Schönberger who wrote the book that started the whole conversation about who should own your online identity and search results.  Forgetting, he says, "enables us human beings to evolve, to learn, to move forward, and if we undo that capacity to forget because our digital tools remember, then we are undoing a very important element of what makes us human."  We get thoughtful, personal, and a little European in this episode.
