Spain’s government is now championing a cause called "right to be forgotten". It has ordered Google to stop indexing information about 90 citizens who filed formal complaints with its Data Protection Agency. All 90 people wanted information deleted from the Web. Among them was a victim of domestic violence who discovered that her address could easily be found through Google. Another, well into middle age now, thought it was unfair that a few computer key strokes could unearth an account of her arrest in her college days.
They might not have received much of a hearing in the United States, where Google is based and where courts have consistently found that the right to publish the truth about someone’ s past supersedes any right to privacy. But here, as elsewhere in Europe, an idea has taken hold—individuals should have a " right to be forgotten" on the Web.
In fact, the phrase "right to be forgotten" is being used to cover abatch of issues, ranging from those in the Spanish case to the behavior of companies seeking to make money from private information that can be collected on the Web.
Spain’ s Data Protection Agency believes that search engines have altered the process by which most data ends up forgotten—and therefore adjustments need to be made. The deputy director of the agency, Jesus Rubi, pointed to the official government gazette (公报), which used to publish every weekday, including bankruptcy auctions , official pardons, and who passed the civil service exams. Usually 220 pages of fine print, it quickly ended up gathering dust on various backroom shelves. The information was still there, but not easily accessible. Then two years ago, the 350-year-old publication went online, making it possible for embarrassing information—no matter how old—to be obtained easily.
The publisher of the government publication, Fernando Perez, said it was meant to foster transparency . Lists of scholarship winners, for instance, make it hard for the government officials to steer all the money to their own children. "But maybe," he said, "there is information that has a life cycle and only has value for a certain time. "
Many Europeans are broadly uncomfortable with the way personal information is found by search engines and used for commerce. When ads pop up on one’ s screen, clearly linked to subjects that are of interest to him, one may find it Orwellian. A recent poll conducted by the European Union found that most Europeans agree. Three out of four said they were worried about how Internet companies used their information and wanted the right to delete personal data at any time. Ninety percent wanted the European Union to take action on the right to be forgotten.
Experts say that Google and other search engines see some of these court cases as anassault on a principle of law already established—that search engines are essentially not responsible for the information they corral from the Web, and hope the Spanish court agrees. The companies believe if there are privacy issues, the complainants should address those who posted the material on the Web. But some experts in Europe believe that search engines should probably be reined in. "They are the ones that are spreading the word. Without them no one would find these things. "
Jesus Rubi mentions official government gazette in order to illustrate that its online publication_____.
选项
A、changes the way the government discloses information
B、fosters public supervision over governmental affairs
C、challenges the way government information is stored
D、provides more access to previous confidential information
答案
C
解析
本文考查对文章第四段西班牙数据保护局副局长热苏斯.瑞比观点的理解。他提到了政府《公报》,介绍了政府《公报》从以前每个工作日出版一期然后被迅速遗忘到现在在网上发布电子版期间的变化,目的是为了点明互联网对于某些个人隐私的侵犯,因为以前就算是令人尴尬的信息也是经过很短一段时间的流通之后就会被存封起来,而现在任何进入互联网的信息都会在那里被永远记录。[A]说政府披露信息的方式发生了变化,从以前的纸介质变成了电子介质,但这并不是热苏斯.瑞比想要讨论的重点。[B]偷梁换柱,将第五段中人物的观点说成是热苏斯.瑞比的观点。[C]正确,提到政府《公报》的目的是为了揭示信息最终的存储方式发生变化,由无人问津的资料室变成了公开的互联网,信息储存方式的改变使保护隐私更必要。[D]利用access制造干扰项,现在人们获取政府信息的途径多了,但原文并没有提到confidential information这个词。
