THE RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN AT THE LEVEL OF TECHNOLOGICAL MEMORY: THE CONFLICT OF ANTHROPOCENTRIC NORM AND AXIOM OF DATA PERMANENCE

Abstract

The study focuses on the critical conflict between the right to be forgotten and the technological reality of data permanence. RTBF affirms the anthropocentric principle of the dominance of human will by demanding the deletion of personal data. However, the architecture of modern distributed systems, cloud storage, and technologies operates on the principles of redundancy and immutability, making physical eradication a legal fiction. The aim of this work is to provide a scientific justification for the need to rethink RTBF from the requirement of physical destruction to the concept of controlled inaccessibility. The study identifies three key technical barriers. Algorithmic deletion mechanisms are proposed: deindexing (for search engines), cryptographic obfuscation (for immutable registries), and the implementation of standardized forgetting protocols. Effective implementation of RTBF is not only a matter of individual privacy, but also a category of democratic security. Uncontrolled technological memory becomes ideal raw material for targeted disinformation and hybrid attacks, directly undermining the sovereignty of the democratic process. The proposed architectural changes are necessary to restore the rule of law over the axiom of technological permanence.
