Direito ao esquecimento e desindexação da informação: ambivalências e desafios no ambiente digital

Abstract

Technological development has increased the production and sharing of content on digital platforms, making it difficult to manage adequate access to information. This article aims to discuss the effects of the right to be forgotten in the digital environment, considering the deindexation process as a strategy to operationalize the effectiveness of this right. Taking as theoretical-conceptual frameworks about the composite complexity of information and antinomies between the dignity of the human person and freedom of expression and the right to information, originating, respectively, from Information Science and Law, they are analyzed and discussed some jurisprudential decisions and doctrinal positions on the Brazilian scene. The right to be forgotten is surrounded by ambiguities and challenges of a normative, technological and cultural order, in an information sharing at unprecedented levels that negatively interfere with its effectiveness in the digital environment.
