被遗忘权视角下搜索引擎服务提供商的信息删除义务研究

Search Engine Service Provider’s Information Deletion Obligation from the Perspective of the Right to be Forgotten

摘要: 被遗忘权作为一项权利产生时，就与删除一词有着难以泾渭分明的纠葛。从最初的名称争夺，到权利实现过程中搜索引擎不可推卸的删除义务，再到删除义务范围的不断扩大，删除已经不仅仅限于需要被遗忘的内容。根据《网络安全法》第四十三条与四十七条分别规定的应该被遗忘与应当被删除的信息，结合已经发酵的案例，当我们对需要被删除的信息采取不同的判定逻辑时，搜索引擎服务提供商、第三方网站、政府、信息主体等主体之间将会产生不同的权利义务，各自代表的价值选择展开激烈的争夺。因此界定被遗忘权视角下的删除义务、完善删除过程、分配权利义务、平衡价值争夺成为被遗忘权得以实现的必要。

Abstract: When the right to be forgotten arises as a right, there is an indistinct dispute with the word of deletion. From the original name fight, to the inevitable search engine’s obligation to delete during the realization of rights, to the ever-expanding scope of the obligation to delete, the deletion is not limited to content that needs to be forgotten. According to Articles 43 and 47 of the Cyber Security Law, the information that should be forgotten and that should be deleted, combined with the fermented cases, when we adopt different decision logic for the information that needs to be deleted, search engine service providers, third-party websites, governments, and information subjects will have different rights and obligations, and the value choices they represent will be fiercely contested. Therefore, the definition of the obligation of deletion from the perspective of the right to be forgotten, the improvement of the deletion process, the distribution of rights and obligations, and the balance of value competition have become necessary to realize the right to be forgotten.
