Is Freedom of Expression Under Threat Due to the Right To Be Forgotten? A Case Laws Based Explainer
The right to be forgotten is often assumed to infringe upon the freedom of expression.

Chandreyee Maitra analyses the Google Spain case, explaining why it created tension between freedom of expression and the right to be forgotten in the first place. Maitra shows how the Google Spain case affected European jurisprudence vis-a-vis the right to be forgotten.

Therefore, this is an issue which requires in-depth analysis, as done by the author, due to its complex and multidimensional nature.
