Court Name: Supreme Court of Argentina

Case Number: CIV 50016/2016/CS1

Case Summary: The Supreme Court of Argentina unanimously rejected a “right to be forgotten” petition by an anchorwomen to have Google de-index embarrassing content from her past. Natalia Denegri, a famous TV presenter, brought the petition in relation to videos of her participation in a TV talk show where she was verbally and physically abusive to other participants. She argued that the content was no longer relevant and that its easy accessibility infringed her rights to privacy, intimacy, honor, and reputation. The Court observed that de-indexation requests could result in a form of prior restraint and therefore required strict scrutiny. Further, the Court considered de-indexation to be an “extreme measure” as it restricts the flow of public interest information. In the present case, the mere passing of time did not render the information irrelevant and as Ms. Denegri is a public figure freedom of expression must be weighed more heavily than the right to honor and reputation.

Case Significance: By rejecting the right to be forgotten on issues of public interest or involving public figures, the decision expands freedom of expression.

The decision establishes a binding or persuasive precedent within its jurisdiction.
