Abstract

This research delves into the relationship between human rights and technology, focusing on
the dynamics between freedom of expression and data protection in Colombia. It examines the
evolution of these rights, highlighting their interaction with technology and information. The main
study centers on whether the right to digital oblivion limits the freedom of information in Colombia,
exploring its conceptualization, evolution, and application both nationally and internationally, and
its impact on democracy and public access to information. Through a multidisciplinary approach,
it analyzes the legal, ethical, and social consequences of the right to digital oblivion, assessing its
effect on journalism and government transparency. The research also considers the implementation
of this right in the Colombian judicial system, seeking to balance the protection of personal data
with freedom of information and offering recommendations for legislators and media outlets.
