The right to be forgotten means the right of people to request information and communication providers to delete their information online. As the number of people asking for deletion of their past embarrassing or negative online activities is increasing, discussions are being raised on the introduction of the right to be forgotten in South Korea. However, previous research on the right to be forgotten mainly deals with the legal concept, with insufficient consideration of economic value. The main purpose of this research is to examine social perception towards the right to be forgotten and to estimate its economic value quantitatively. According to the results, there are concerns about disclosure of personal information, but with lack of awareness on the right to be forgotten. The monthly average amount that a person is willing to pay to be forgotten is 1,218 Korean won (11 US dollars) and the total economic value is estimated to be about 540 billion won (490 million dollars) per year in 2017. Especially, those who have experienced leakage of personal information put higher value to the right to be forgotten. These results can be useful for making decisions about the right to be forgotten in the future.

As data can be permanently stored and freely distributed, in modern society, the Internet became a world that remembers everything forever. Because of that, there has been increasing the number of accident with never-forgetting data and, as a result, a movement has been emerged to apply a notion of 'oblivion' to internet world. The movement is called 'The right to be forgotten.' However, 'The right to be forgotten' in a higher level which internet users want to be guaranteed is very limited in the juridical approach because of the confliction with the other basic rights and problems. On the other hand, the requests of individuals to guarantee 'The right to be forgotten' has been urged digital extinction technology, such as volatile SNS, Digital Aging System, to be developed. With introduction of oblivion, digital extinction technology with setting expire date on digital information can present a new solution on assuring 'The right to be forgotten.' This research establishes the detail scope of, analyzes the level of assurance of, and, through digital extinction technology with the established scope, suggest the potential assurance of the 'The right to be forgotten'.

The right to be forgotten (RTBF) has been a population notion to address privacy issues associated with the digitalization of information and the dissemination of such information over the global digital network. In May 2014, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) laid down a landmark RTBF decision to grant individuals the right to be de-listed from search results. ECJ's RTBF decision sparked an increased interest in RTBF in South Korea. Academic and non-academic commentators have provided a mistaken or outstretched interpretation of RTBF in claiming that removal of news articles should be read into RTBF in Korean law. Moreover, the Press Arbitration Commission of Korea (PAC) has proposed revising the Press Arbitration Act (PAA) to allow the alleged victims of news reporting to request the deletion of news stories. This article examines the notion of RTBF from its origin to the latest development abroad and also critically explores Korean laws regulation freedom of expression to evaluate if Korea needs the proposed PAA revision.

The purpose of this study is to present the correct direction of research in related fields by analyzing the trends in the domestic study right to be forgotten. In this study, the final selection of 80 pieces of research papers in various disciplines to search for the study and were analyzed by setting the seven criteria and three research questions. Results, notice that significantly increase the amount of research around the social sciences, starting with the EU rules(draft) has been published in 2012, and around the problem navigating the Law oriented research actively done through a literature review and legal research methods can. Intensive study of the protected rights and the conflict in time towards the latter subject was also increased. The right to be forgotten when considering that big data, digital information such diverse and complex technical issues (service), which still lacks support the implementation of the rights ithil research is desperately needed to know the future with the realization that the scope and research methods. The purpose of this study is to present the research direction of the limits intended for domestic research, but realize effective right to be forgotten by future foreign comparative analysis.

In the EU GDPR, when collecting personal information, the right of the information subject(user) to consent or refuse is given the highest priority. Therefore, the information subject must be able to withdraw consent and be forgotten and claim the right at any time. Especially, restricted IoT devices(Constrained Node) implement the function of consent of the data subject regarding the collection and processing of privacy data, and it is very difficult to post the utilization content of the collected information. In this paper, we designed and implemented a management system that allows data subjects to monitor data collected and processed from IoT devices, recognize information leakage problems, connect, and control devices. Taking into account the common information of the standard OCF(Open Connectivity Foundation) of IoT devices and AllJoyn, a device connection framework, 10 meta-data for information protection were defined, and this was named DPD (Data Protection Descriptor). we developed DPM (Data Protection Manager), a software that allows information subjects to manage information based on DPD.

This study aims to critically discuss the problems that need to be solved from a humanities perspective in order to utilize big data. It identifies and discusses three research problems that may arise from collecting, processing, and using big data. First, it looks at the fake information circulating with regard to problems with the data itself, specifically looking at article-type advertisements and fake news related to politics. Second, discrimination by the algorithm was cited as a problem with big data processing and its results. This discrimination was seen while searching for engineers on the portal site. Finally, problems related to the invasion of personal related information were seen in three categories: the right to privacy, the right to self-determination of information, and the right to be forgotten. This study is meaningful in that it points out the problems facing in the aspect of big data utilization from the humanities perspective in the era of big data and discusses possible problems in the collection, processing, and use of big data, respectively.

The immutability of blockchain is core elements of security of blockchain and guarantee data integrity. However, the characteristic that the data recoreded once in the blockchain cannot be modified has place for abuse by a specific user. In fact improper contents that is inappropriate to be recorded on the blockchain, such as harmful data and user personal data, is exposed on Bitcoin. As a way to manage improper content existing in the blockchain, there is a redactable blockchain using chameleon hash proposed for the first time by Ateniese. The redactable blockchain meet the right to be forgotten of GDPR by allowing data modification and deletion. Recently, Research on personal data management is being conducted in a redactable blockchain. Research by Jia et al. proposed a model that enables users to manage their personal data in the redactable blockchain. However, semi trusted regulators, which are blockchain participation nodes, have powerful authority in the blockchain, such as modification rights and deprivation of transaction rights for all blocks, which may cause side effects. In this paper, to weaken the authority of regulators in Y. Jia et al., we propose a method of authority subject altering and authority sharing, and propose a redactable blockchain-based authority change and access control system model based on applicable scenarios.
