The Cartabia reform recognized the right to de-indexing in favour of those who have been under investigation or charged and have seen their position defined by a favourable decision, by the insertion of Article 64-ter among the implementation rules of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The provision entitles to request the de-indexing from search engines of search results starting from the applicant’s name, in order to make more difficult finding previously disclosed news related to the criminal proceedings against the same applicant, that ended in his favour.
In order to have the best protection not only of the right to be forgotten, but also the right to privacy, one should take action both by invoking de-indexing and by requesting the contextualization and update of personal data on the Web.
