An observer from the sidelines:

The Documentation Center of Cambodia (“a Cambodian non-governmental 
organization whose mission is to research and record the era of 
Democratic Kampuchea [the 'Khmer Rouge'] for the purposes of memory and 
justice”) - www.dccam.org – says with every of its postings:

    Searching for the Truth
    MEMORY & JUSTICE

    “...a society cannot know itself if it does not have an accurate
    memory of its own history.”

    "The past is never dead. It's not even past."
    William Cuthbert Faulkner was awarded the 1949 Nobel Prize for
    Literature


The Documentation Center of Cambodia is concerned with /not forgetting/, 
and the connection between memory and justice.

On 1 June 2014 the Center posted the following link without any further 
comment:

The right to be forgotten and the global reach of EU data protection law
http://www.concurringopinions.com

This quoted article concludes with the following:

    “In any event, the Court’s lack of concern with the territorial
    application of the judgment demonstrates an inward-looking attitude
    that fails to take into account the global nature of the Internet.
    It also increases the need for enactment of the proposed Regulation,
    in order to provide some territorial limits to the right to be
    forgotten.”


Food for thought.
