ABSTRACT
This article examines the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s proposal that privacy laws be amended to provide individuals with a right of ‘erasure’ (Digital Platforms Inquiry, rec 16(d)). Examining the recent and rapid expansion of the right to erasure by courts in Europe, it demonstrates the deleterious impact the right may have on Australia’s online media archive and posits that more careful reform is required to protect public access to information.
