The doctrinal and jurisprudential developments on the right to oblivion are present in the permanent challenges that the current digital era, with a hyper-connected and hyper-informed society, imposes on the law and the different regulations.The right to oblivion should be analyzed within the context of the protection of personal information on the Internet and social networks with special emphasis on the necessary balance between modernization and guarantee of the right of citizens to preserve control over their personal data and the Application of new information technologies. The right to oblivion, as a projection of the rights of suppression and opposition of the data, should not be interpreted as synonymous with erasing or hiding certain information about a person, although its consecration points at the right of the Holder of the information so that his personal information does not remain indefinitely, permanently and easily accessible in social networks and the Internet. We must be very careful to point out that the right to forget cannot be interpreted as contrary to transparency, although we must work on solutions and formulas that allow us to respect a person's right his information does not remain indefinitely on the Internet linked to facts or events, whether negative or positive and that represent a permanent social condemnation in social networks and the internet.
