About this project

This project is based on a Europe wide cross border investigation of the impact of Right to be Forgotten on the media. Over the past few months we have been finding out how one of the most obscure processes taking place in the internet works. We have delivered some answers which have prompted new questions. In the following weeks, we will publish several articles analysing the results of our investigation across different European media.

As the Right to be Forgotten is an open issue, which will be gaining momentum in the future as more and more people are concerned about the pros and cons of living online, we will be to keeping an eye on its evolution.

If you have a story, a complaint or data to share with us regarding deindexing or the Right to be Forgotten, we are happy to hear from you. You can write to us via this form or to the following email thertbfproject@hushmail.com .

All the information supplied will be anonymous.
