DATA PROTECTION
Supreme Court of Cassation: right to be forgotten must be exercised by specific request.
The publisher of a website is not obliged to provide, as the case may be, for the deletion, de-indexing, or updating of a press article, which was legitimately published at the time, even if it relates to facts dating back in time, if there is no explicit request.
Only upon the request of the interested party does the publisher trigger the obligation to provide for it "without delay." In its ruling 6806/2023, the Supreme Court therefore rejected the plaintiff's claim to be compensated for damages resulting from the online availability, on a news agency's website, of news of his arrest for drug offenses.
