"My initial reaction to a 500+ page textbook only about The Right to be Forgotten was to wonder what on earth there was to talk about. However, having reviewed Paul Lambert's text and seen what a thorough account he has provided on the subject, this makes more sense. As well as tracking the history of the original Google Spain Case (a case in which Bristows was heavily involved), Lambert also considers the development of the modern commercial internet, including social media in particular, and the growing need for individuals to be able to manage their online presence in certain situations. The advent of 'revenge porn' is a good example of this, which the book covers in a reasonable amount of detail. The impact of GDPR is also looked at closely, as well as the way in which it has developed and modified the RtbF as originally seen in the Google Spain case. Moreover, various national cases that have looked at the RtbF are described and analysed, with the UK's NT 1 and NT2, deserving of a chapter each. The impact of RtbF on the media - a highly contentious area - is also looked, as is the potential impact of Brexit. Overall, this is a solid piece of work that will provide a useful resource for anyone involved in weighing the respective rights of privacy and data protection and freedom of expression and other, competing rights.
