Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Privacy Commissioner wants to review the Privacy Act and introduce a right to be forgotten.

He's concerned social media is posing a major risk for children's privacy and parents need help navigating it.

Michael Webster told Heather du Plessis-Allan the right to be forgotten should be a fundamental one.
