Urgency of Rights Settings to be Forgotten in Electronic Personal Information with Government Regulations

摘要

In the internet age, everything that has been recorded and stored will always be accessible again. News about the guilty verdict of a corruptor, for example, can still be found through a search engine even though the corruptor has served his sentence. The internet makes it difficult for people to forget their past. From there comes the desire of people to be free of memories of their past lives, which has the potential to be a bad stigma that looms throughout his life. Article 26 paragraphs (3) and (4) of the ITE Law regulate the concept of a right to be forgotten, which can be interpreted as the right to forget electronic data information. The birth of this concept was due to a concrete event of someone's data information that was already inaccurate, irrelevant or incorrect, thus creating a bad view (stigma) from the community against the person and violating the privacy rights (personal rights) of someone. However, the Government of Indonesia has not yet regulated clearly and in detail, the procedures for filing the deletion of the right to forgetting electronic personal data information in cyberspace. Therefore, this must be immediately regulated in a Government Regulation concerning the right to forgetting electronic personal data information in cyberspace through the courts.
