The digital right to be forgotten from the perspective of the European Union and the feasibility of its extrapolation to the case of Mexico

The so-called right to be forgotten as a manifestation of the right to personal data protection is a reality in the European Unión. However, this perspective has generated conflicting positions, both because of the complexity of the implementation of this right and because of the potential conflicts that it could imply for the exercise of other human rights. This is particularly relevant for those countries in which European Union law has been an important referent in the normative and institutional design of the right of personal data protection. In this context, this article seeks to elucidate whether it is possible to adopt the path previously traced by European Court of Justice in the Case 131/12 Google Spain SL, Google Inc. v. Agencia Española de Protección de Datos, Mario Costeja, in the Mexican legal system. To that end, this article focuses on the debate generated around the role of Internet intermediaries and the recognition of the right of personal data protection as a human right.
