This contribution by Michael Donohue, Senior Policy Analyst at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), presents a personal perspective on this issue grounded in the OECD's canon.

Michael Donoghue argues that the OECD framework has throughout its history emphasised the importance of ensuring the free flow of information. Recent socio-technological developments raise a number of new issues here notably the role of the individuals in putting privacy at risk through the data they create and disseminate. These issues have been under consideration as part of the review of the OCED privacy framework which is now underway. This talk was part of the OxPILS Conference 'The 'Right to be Forgotten' and Beyond' held on 12 June 2012. This Conference was the culmination of 'Mending the Tangled Web? Information Privacy 3.0', a series which was generously made possible with funding from a Joint Programme between the European Union and the Council of Europe.

Data Protection and Freedom of Expression in the Age of Web 2.0 - What should be the future shape of transnational governance regimes in this area?

This contribution by Thomas Zerdick, Legal Officer at the European Commission's Data Protection Unit, presents the Commission's understanding of the interface between Data Protection and freedom of expression within the EU.

The presentation argues that in accordance with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights Member States the Data Protection framework does apply to this field and Member States may only provide exemptions which respect the essence of the right to Data Protection and follow the principle of proportionality and necessity. The absolute exemption for private and personal processing should only apply when the individual is not disseminating data to an indefinite number of the public. At the same time, Thomas Zerdick emphases the wide margin of appreciation which Member States are allowed here. The talk was the keynote address of the OxPILS Conference 'The 'Right to be Forgotten' and Beyond' held on 12 June 2012. This Conference was the culmination of 'Mending the Tangled Web? Information Privacy 3.0', a series which was generously made possible with funding from a Joint Programme between the European Union and the Council of Europe.

This contribution by Peter Hustinx, European Data Protection Supervisor and formerly President of the Dutch Data Protection Authority, presents an international perspective on the interface between Data Protection and freedom of expression.

Peter Hustinx argues the proposed European Data Protection Regulation should avoid specific reference to journalism literature and art but should very clearly require Member States only provide freedom of expression exemptions from Data Protection to the extent necessary to strike a proper balance between fundamental rights. He also argues that it might be helpful to state that the exemptions should not affect the essential elements of either the right to freedom of expression or the right to data protection. The talk was the keynote address of the OxPILS Conference 'The 'Right to be Forgotten' and Beyond' held on 12 June 2012. This Conference was the culmination of 'Mending the Tangled Web?

Rosemary Jay explores the current interaction between freedom of expression and Data Protection in UK law and puts forward proposals for its reform within the context of the revision of the European Data Protection framework.

Rosemary Jay, Senior Attorney at Hunton and Williams and former Head of Legal at the UK Office of the Data Protection Registrar, argues that all whose public expressive activities impact on the right to privacy should both be subject to the same law and to a regulator such as the Information Commissioner's Office in the case of bloggers. At the same time Data Protection law must be amended in order to better reconcile the various values at stake. The talk was the keynote address of the OxPILS Conference 'The 'Right to be Forgotten' and Beyond' held on 12 June 2012. This Conference was the culmination of 'Mending the Tangled Web?
