Luciano Floridi, one of the members of Google's advisory council on the "right to be forgotten," discusses the challenges in applying the European Court ruling that that individuals have the right—under certain conditions—to ask search engines to remove links with personal information about them.
Floridi is professor of philosophy and ethics of information at the University of Oxford, and director of research of the Oxford Internet Institute. He has held the UNESCO Chair in Information and Computer Ethics and is the author of numerous books, including The Fourth Revolution: How the infosphere is reshaping human reality (2014), The Ethics of Information (2013), and The Philosophy of Information (2011)."
This video is an excerpt from a longer presentation he gave at Santa Clara University under the auspices of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, the High Tech Law Institute, the Stanford Center on Internet and Society, and the Commonwealth Club of Silicon Valley.
