الارشيفات الرقمية بين الحق في الذاكرة والحق في النسيان

This article, which is a revised translation of an axis in a published book by the researcher under the title Archives in Digital Time: Preservation and the Right to be forgotten, aims to introduce the right to be forgotten and the challenges it poses due to its technical and legal effectiveness, especially in light of the developments taking place at the level of technologies related to big data, cloud computing and the Internet of Things, which aspires to keep all data, including personal data, and exploit it as a service for economic business. The article also aims to clarify the problem of the contradiction between this right and the right to information, the right to expression, and the right to memory, which all countries present today to express their relationship to democracy, transparency, and fairness to citizens. Therefore, the focus was on the relationship between preserving public and private archives versus the right to be forgotten. The article relies on the methodology of the documentary analysis of the research literature, especially the European legal texts related to data protection. It concludes in its most important results that the archives, especially the final ones, are subject in large part to the exceptions stipulated in the regulations of the right to be forgotten, and that archivists are in the best position to work to achieve this balance. And that the discussion is still open to accommodate all approaches in this regard, including economic and social approaches.
