Seaman:

1. Before this article was posted, why was it not properly reviewed and discarded if it is considered trash “in terms of journalism ethics?”
2. Does unpublishing the story prevent the publishing company executive from suing Gawker?
3. This article explains a lot about journalistic credibility, but was the story untrue or just in bad taste?

Newman:

1. Does the “right to be forgotten” apply only to individuals or does it also include corporations?
2. Is the “right to be forgotten” not applicable to records such as criminal offenses? Or can that information also be deleted if the person who was charged had enough money to be able to delete the information?
3. Since there is clear data and information about the lack of actual privacy on the internet in the US and countries associated with the US, why is the general populace still kept in the dark about this information?

Questions from: What the “right to be forgotten” means for privacy in a digital age?
1)-Why corporations could buy, sell or share people’ personal information without their consent?

2)-How is it possible that the United States find it hard to adopt the same privacy policies as Europe?

3)-How one can assure that their personal information remains private and that a company would erase the information as soon as their account is deleted?

Questions from: Learning from Gawker’s Attempt to Erase the Past
1)-As mistakes happen in publications, why should unproven information be published information?

2)-Do journalists think about the consequences of publishing unverified information?

3)-Do you really think removing an online false article with no explanation would hurt a newspaper’ credibility?
