The nightmare of mopping up your online reputation and the 'right to be forgotten'
ABCThe internet never forgets, and it is a lesson South African comedian and host of The Daily Show, Trevor Noah, is learning this week after a clip of him performing a racist joke about Aboriginal women resurfaced, five years after he said it. Speaking to the ABC's daily news podcast The Signal, Mr McAlpine said removing content — especially when it was hosted on a website based in the United States — could be very difficult, and in some cases, impossible. "I know Government officials at the top here that can't even get in contact with social media departments," Mr McAlpine said. "I often think of the right to be forgotten as an obligation that falls on companies like Google," Mr Douglas said. He said the Australian Law Reform Commission had previously considered whether to recommend the introduction of a "right to be forgotten" in Australia and decided against it.
