First, We can respect the personal information and privacy. As we know about the European Court of Justice's judgment, it emphasizes on the personal privacy. Actually, since 2004, complaints in the personal information increased about ten-fold. Especially 'using others' information' or ' violating others' private' occupied the largest proportion. We can infer that by developing internet information the more personal information can be stolen. If we wanted to know about one, just searching on the google shows about his information like photos with Ex-girlfriend or what he commented on the internet. Moreover, by increasing the number of facebook users, the personal information is getting more serious problem. In the facebook, there is a tag. If my friend tagged to me on facebook, others even who don't know me can view of it. And teenagers often updated friend's funny photos and tagged him. So it allows to others to see the funny photos even thought they don't know each other and it will remain if he didn't delete his account. Since the provision of internet, the violating privacy is the issue, but we didn't solve it and make it more serious problem in the digital age.

Second, It is essential because of the internet. Even if only a few decades ago, the major media was television, radio, or newspapers. So we don't have to worry about the personal information because the information of individual would be vanished. But by developing computers, the major media industry was changed. It is internet. Unlike other media, internet can save any information and it will not remain if people don't touch it. So we can find article which was published ten years ago. we can benefit because we can find the past article easily, but there are a lot of negative side of it. Internet has two characteristics : imperishability and anonymous. Due to these traits the violating privacy became serious problem. One can find others information on the internet easily using the anonymous ID. It makes the personal information spread occur. Some artists undergoes damage of privacy and their family also undergoes. Also normal people can be damaged because, the informations are spread. So the chance of abusing by hackers is getting higher. In digital world, the personal information is especially important so if we have the right to be forgotten the risk of damaging and hacking will be decreased.

Third, Actually It benefits multitude. After the judgement of European Court of Justice, many people claimed to Google to delete the information. In British, according to BBC, the number of requiring to delete personal information is 145000. and the average is 1000 per day. We can infer that many people hope to hide their past and keep their privacy although the regulation is not complete. So if we accept the right to be forgotten, more and more people would be benefit by keeping their privacy and preventing the personal information.
