NU National Conference Affirms Limits of Digital Shaming, Here Are the Conditions for Old Traces That Must Be Removed
The 2026 NU National Conference of Scholars and Grand Conference established that republishing someone's disgrace on the internet is basically forbidden (ghibah). Exceptions are made if the information serves the public interest, like assessing the integrity of candidates for office, provided there's no motive to tarnish honor.
Regarding data removal, if the disgrace is personal and the offender has repented, the content must be removed from search engines and electronic systems. On the other hand, for records related to public interest, electronic system organizers may deny removal requests.
This decision balances individual rights (Right to be Forgotten) with public welfare. The forum also discussed the use of modern technology in sighting the new moon.
