1:10 pm
some have even speculated that bolton could be the democrats' impeachment hero. castro's will. impeachment investigators are eager to question john bolton the former national security adviser to president trump was a central figure in the administration's policy toward ukraine and one who said to have used colorful language to describe efforts to compel ukraine to investigate trump's political opponents a drug deal is what bolton's assistant said her boss called a july 10th meeting between ukrainian and u.s. officials at the white house the assistant testified bolton walked out of the meeting after sensing other u.s. officials had an agenda apart from solidifying the relationship between the 2 nations to get ukraine to investigate trumps domestic rivals i think that we've heard over the last several weeks a lot of lower level people and now the house is going to start moving up the food
1:11 pm
chain but bolton's attorney said late wednesday his client will not accept the invitation to testify democrats will likely issue a subpoena but whether or not bolton complies is an open question he's been quiet since being forced out of the white house in september due to policy disputes with the president but 2 weeks before he left his position bolton visited kiev on official business and delivered this message to the ukrainian people people of the united states fought for their independence their sovereignty we understand what that kind of struggle means and the people of the united states are with the people of ukraine at the time ukraine was expecting the delivery of u.s. military aid to help fight russia but trump was temporarily withholding the aid as his surrogates continue to pressure ukraine to investigate democrats on capitol hill wednesday nominee to become u.s. ambassador to russia was asked to comment do you think it's ever appropriate for

1:22 pm
racist tweets drunken facebook photos tat us email in today's digitally connected world these things can come back to haunt you years into the future with a google search influencing everything from job office to relationships what people are pushing for control over their digital history the european union has address these concerns by granting residents the right to be forgotten on search engines but this privacy law hasn't really been adopted anywhere else that's why europe's top court recently ruled that google doesn't have to block search results in any countries outside of the union the ruling is a big win for free speech proponents who say that europe's law goes against the public's right to factual information but with lawsuits to remote remove embarrassing information popping up all over the world the debate over the right to be forgotten is heating up so joining us to discuss today's topic is jamie court from us angeles california jamie is president of the nonprofit group consumer
1:23 pm
watchdog which is pushing for the u.s. to adopt the right to be forgotten with us in studio is seamless waco she is the director of a new play in washington d.c. dealing with this exact subject it's called the right to be forgotten and we're also joined by danny o'brien downey's the director of strategy for the electronic frontier foundation f f a digital rights nonprofit based in san francisco california and finally from faroe portugal frankie pete's a right to be forgotten advocate who speaks from personal experience good to have you here everybody dad. can you imagine a situation where there is something online about you about someone you care deeply about that you wish you could take off and. you have no there isn't a date. i don't need to mention i have plenty of stuff online that i wish would go away and i definitely have friends who are in the same situation the tricky thing is that everybody knows it's really very difficult to get something done offline
1:24 pm
and i think as people trying to introduce laws and proposals to deal with that. they risk introducing the principle that the right to still leaves the content online and they go too far and you end up with an incredibly cluny and stuff regulation that can end up being used by the rich and the powerful to really change history so what we're dealing with an awful. i think that we can continue to work this out i think that we can from anything else i think a lot of whom i'm most concerned about and this is what we saw in the your you know might be the goal is is google such a treat right when people think about searching these days they think about google the giant company that controls what the top 10 things they can see about somebody
1:25 pm
or. i think that's a lot of talent but one company and i don't think the right to be gone actually fixes that because what it really means is that now google still decides whether you'll come tend to it is the next stage from that i think that's just not that's just not right i mean this this law is specifically targeted designed to get google google. requests in the e.u. to not remove things online this is about removing things on this like this is removing things from the top of google's search history so that when you know you have a family like the source family who had a picture of their to capitated daughter in a car accident leaked online but by the california highway patrol and it became the thing when their family's name was searched that came up all the time when that family went to google and wanted to see it can't take that out of the the search algorithm so it's not on the 1st search page not offline but not on the 1st search
1:26 pm
history google said no so the right to be forgotten is all about telling google and search engines only that you can't prioritize results that are. that are for nonpublic figures these are for the families who want their privacy you know information that got their it wrongly or information that that is irrelevant to a nonpublic figures like a new picture guppy a malicious teacher got fired because that nude picture nude picture showed up in the. this is. because you know jamie it's so interesting to me and danny i hear your point there and i think it's so interesting that you mention google because so much of this has to do with the search engines so we asked our community their thoughts on that in particular this poll do you think people should have the right to have google remove content about themselves from search listings overwhelmingly 85 percent people said yes the poll is so open so
1:27 pm
those of you watching can go vote now but you reached out to the stream bear this hash tag were using what would your answer to this question be. well for me i'm coming from as i was from a person perspective. i am one of those people thus it is on google for the wrong reasons for is stark issues were criminal kind of such a long time ago and at the time the corporate boards weren't very accurate and they were very one sided and that is nothing to appear. and i just went online and stayed there. is very frustrating for me but i knew that so i was going to better myself i go out there or cart and prove to everybody that i wasn't that person i don't that i've spent the last 67 years working very aren't. working is really your caster portugal i don't want global war. going to interest from from huge radio
1:28 pm
stations and still there's not a week when somebody soon something from google to my employers or to advertisers are trolls start to use me your i get turned off or jot last minute so i can for instance house i've just been on the road and there's a balance there because people make mistakes and they deserve to be punished which i was but the punishment has carried on known to just sleep and still on going on my last offense was generally to not let frankie i again sorry i can't help it so i googled share and this is what i found on the 1st page of it like your story is right out there have frankie shani went for a criminal in ireland thing you can click on that and that tells us the so it you just tell it ass then there's a twitter and then here is the start of when it gets quite colorful at no more criminal records i'll have the sunday times islands greatest comment that that's
1:29 pm
you and i get a couple more pages in it tells me some incredible stories like a car he borrowed permit me and there's a genuine jumped on the bonnet of the colony drove the car that gentle. happened to be a place where is that true did that come to be not i didn't know that starving or search i'm looking at thinking wow oh is this guy. well you see i was never i was never described as aren't. the problem one of the one journalists is easy aren't the greatest con men and this was like. 12 years of course he said it is hate. because of the way people look at google it's there that. is that's not a child so all right you know harvey keitel to have. frank in the backseat all those frank it's really interesting to hear your story this is seema in the studio and this play that was directed here at arena stage in washington d.c.
1:30 pm
called right to be forgotten asks precisely the question that you sort of have going on in your life this question of how do these very human things of forgiveness or 2nd chances how do they co-exist with technology with the internet can we forgive and give 2nd chances with a technology that is permanent and thus with that permanence on forgiving and and forgetting and in your case and in the case of the story in our play untruths are also then added on to what was your original original offense so you know part of your story i think that's the point of the race for it to be forgotten though what's what's happened to this story is there's a corporate robot this is a lot of people really love this so let's put it on the 1st page where that kapatid picture it got all those it was put out there and there is no mediation with that corporation about our human values or social mores our ethical customs as people
1:31 pm
and this is part of all the others are not all we have the problem was no it was. all this does is allow us to petition google to say this is wrong please take it out it doesn't say google as it now it allows a petition to be heard and to be given its spirit do because frankly google that i care i don't like i don't want google to judge those sort of decisions right what we create what it already says or it is right based on who what search comes up 1st how. things are indexed so it already is your judge and judy cater their execution i may exist exactly i have a question for the 3 of you i'm really curious you know some say the internet is this wild beast that's taken over us and others will say it's merely a reflection of of our human nature so you know as i ask this question about humanity and technology about can we forgive on the internet is it is it really
1:32 pm
just a reflection of who we are as human beings that we as humans have forgotten how to how to forgive and indeed instead we run to blame shame. and tearing people down revenge rather than forgiveness so i'm curious what the 3 of you would think about that all you have to do is look. you know. i mean years ago if you had a problem with something you know your new. song so you know how to use you. fortunately there are. so it's not just a throwaway comment. so here are the brilliant is really about your question i want to jump in here bring in our community who are watching live another answer to the question from joe in a way he says i believe being able to control the narratives of your life should be a fundamental human right there are certain things such as criminal actions that i
1:33 pm
do believe should be documented but there are plenty of other non-criminal things that should be our right to control and he goes on to say i'll read one more tweet from him he sent us a whole thread of really interesting things but oh oh oh in with this one he says what were you doing when you were a teenager would you like all of those things to go public there are periods in our lives where we're learning and mistakes happen is the ability to have these experiences and learn without condemnation and permanent marks that allow us to grow so danny i'll give this one to you his point there in the beginning about criminal actions being the line where do you fall on that. i think that actually the idea that any individual can reshape what people think about them and what people know about them is a pretty risky line to be walking through you know if we look at the me too movement if we look at situations where powerful people who have been able to
1:34 pm
silence who are criticizing or or all removed from their history books what what actual facts about them that gives them an incredible power that i don't think we should. assume it's a right i do think that we need to be able to develop in the face of more and more information the greater tolerance people's mistakes and honestly i think we're kind of moving in that direction as all of it's grown up with the internet getting to the point where we realize that minor infractions in the past shouldn't prevent a political career for instance. but the idea that the solution to this is rather than learning tolerance sort of medically excised truth facts about people so that no one will ever know is something that really really concerns me and in particular to go back to an idea that i think we all agree with which is that
1:35 pm
a big company like google shouldn't be the only deciding factor way into rate that when people petition google it's the king of the internet it's still going to bill that makes this decision and that's it that's what she wanted when removing quotes from this equation where removing any kind of redress from the from the journalists for instance and write those 'd articles. on the existing this is important point to do this with a writer held to a standard ok it's a legal standard for which they can be sued and the problem is we have on the internet with google and other content content pushed by a 3rd party absolutely no legal liability can. indications decency that's not true picture 2 very true to me and you know it is actually true that last year we got the 1st liability for our online child sex trafficking but then you know what is it online sex or now why would you know what google you know why google closed it because it believes anything done on the internet is free speech even trafficking
1:36 pm
judicial free and not have to meet a kind of pushback on this because to me because we actually represent some of the people who been affected by supported by that law you know what happened after about more pearls i think you do what happened is that sex workers people who can communicate online about the huge risks they face all instantly removed really since you know what is the deal in these companies don't know where the family story was not just about an example is it massive i think i'm going to just break it out for just a 2nd but i want to show our audience who do not let live in europe and have not had need to ask if they can take something i will up here on my laptop. away in europe as a privacy law so you can request to demonise something about you that's online and then this is the form that you use and then you put the past information here you put the you are out maybe you add some other files etc and then you put in
1:37 pm
a request frankie why would this not have helped you. i'm 4 years filling in those forms. and each year they move the goalposts the 1st year i the 1st year i took it on the chin i was like ok i committed the crimes you know there was a depression involved question commission them so i took it on the chin this is a google search we look at next year i have various they were there were communication which was good the 2nd year they said it was in the public interest leave it there terje or i got the data commissioner unarmed. and she couldn't get anywhere. this year google so that's when there's one positive story there now so don't be true been negative. i what i would say i would say that this case though you are becoming a public figure as well what i'm really concerned about is people who are public figures people who get fired people get discriminated people can't rent an
1:38 pm
apartment because google prioritizes a search result but still going to be on the internet if they don't put the top of the algorithm and all you're seeing in the google is move it down no i do have a lot of sympathy for your story but you're obviously will always there are a lot of people who don't have a voice that's what this law is really all i would i would love to you've mentioned the katsaris family quite a bit and that's a family who had a tragedy in that family a where one of the family members was killed enough to rethink way they spoke about the savant on a documentary and about how they were able to get the picture of their family member offline and these will horrific pictures have a listen to their exports trying to toe with the right to be forgotten the challenges that they are right now have a look we were told there was nothing that could be done because there's no loan in place for pictures of deceased people because
1:39 pm
when they possible way their privacy rights go with. i didn't know such depravity existed in humans. dogs treat their kind better than humans treat their kind it's just there is no dignity or respect on the internet because we're not held accountable nobody's there to tell us not to. see this is such a robust debate we're in it right now it's been going on globally for some time and you experience from directing a play called the right to be forgotten your having conversations you're having panels yourself what are you learning where do you form this should we be out to delete some things from our personal histories on life as i've been working on this play my own personal opinion has flip flopped back and forth but where i stand right now is yes i do think we actually should have the capability to have some power over how we are represented particularly if you're a regular human being not
1:40 pm
a public official but i also think you know the miracle in this play is the miracle of humanity there is a character in this play who makes a choice of her own critical thought despite what she reads on line she actually listens to her heart looks at the person she's connected with and makes her own choice and i think that sometimes one of the things we've forgotten how to do is hold on to the old the power that we do have in terms of how we make sure that if you're going for a job and your boss your future boss googles your and find something that's not that attractive yeah line you've already lost the job right absolutely but probably they haven't even gotten the interview. jamie i think brought up the communications decency act section 230 and there are so get yours or your research yes i learned that there is sharing our. and there are some congresspeople in the us who are questioning it something that we need to oppose it
1:41 pm
and and i. i think that's a valid conversation to have i think it's also valid that the attorneys general 50 attorneys general and in the u.s. are investigating big tech and looking at whether there's an antitrust case i do think our data has almost become like a property right and we have property rights but we don't seem to have rights over our own personal data and our own personal stories here in the u.s. and i thrilled that we're having this conversation it is complicated and certainly working on this play has demonstrated to me how complicated all the perspectives of our guests are represented in the play that we have and and others also the rep the perspective of a woman who was stalked. it's the former stalker in our play who wants to get this removed and i'm saying i'm going to show you ok one more time they don't have to
1:42 pm
talk about it is here. how many showing it so they are going to say it's in washington d.c. . so you talk about data and i think that's one of the things that people online brings up a lot which is not having control over the data and not having access to it calvin here watching live on you tube so is it actually possible to erase your digital footprint in the modern era that is a question talked about in a video comment we received from someone who talks about the ways that it could be possible this is joseph jerome is a privacy advocate here's what he told the story. asking google or some other data broker to erase our entire digital footprint from the internet isn't possible asked but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't have basic rights to delete our information the e.u. is correct that at some point in time information about us just isn't relevant you know i don't know what my web browsing history from college would tell you about
1:43 pm
who i am today so we need to have the ability to erase that type of information and there are some tools to do that google put out a new tool that arlo deletes your location information after 3 or 18 months you know we ought to be thinking about rules and regulations that force these sorts of retention limits i think that's really meaningful and frankly a practical right to be forgotten that would also benefit our privacy. so jimi what do you make of that because he seems to say there are ways to do this it's kind of already happening how do we push that forward well again with google the real question is how do you get google that deep prioritize those results and there's only one way we have that a right to petition them but we do have a lot of california that's going to affect anyone that says for personal information that companies can't share your data without your permission you have a right to opt out and they can sell it without your permission they can't now you a service so those type of privacy laws are
1:44 pm
a whole nother wave of laws that have to hit nationally ours is taking effect january 1 but what we're talking about today really is is a different issue i think it's the issue of the balance between liberty and equality you know on the there's a lot of liberty on the internet and we haven't balanced it out with equal rights for instance we did pass a law president trump did sign it and it was because we had this web site back page that was not online brought them out of families with young children got caught in that and basically they shut it down and they created a lot says if a website party content and they get it and there's online sex trafficking then you know what happens they are basically liable and if we start to make companies like google more liable for counterfeit drugs for illegal activity sold online through their sites if we give them not the same standards that a newspaper publisher has but more responsibility to accountability they will sell police but until we amend the communications decency act to get more accountability
1:45 pm
they will never tell me what's right to demand irrelevant information or a legal opinion generally i hail from doing the very last loss loss seconds of the show from somebody who has experience having a online history that you'd rather have deleted all pushed about some people don't see it on the 1st couple of such as what would you suggest just in the sometimes what we don't. it's it's all about balance people make mistakes and after. they're ask you ask what i asked for in my case 10 years later 11 years nature. created some part of our solar person that i want to be what do you want. to have the power has been taken we've asked you and us overseas i thank you so much gets me i will end with this tweet from right to remove rights and the right to be forgotten a sort of a right to speech in terms of empowering people to have a say regarding their information but as modes of speech become more sophisticated
