Relative Clauses — Defining & Non-defining

B2 düzeyinde relative clauses iki türe ayrılır: defining (tanımlayan — virgülsüz) ve non-defining (ek bilgi veren — virgüllü). Bu ayrım hem anlam hem de noktalama açısından kritiktir.

The Right to Be Forgotten

sarı işaretli kelimeler bu ünitenin hedef yapıları ve kalıplarıdır.

In May 2014, the Court of Justice of the European Union made a landmark ruling which changed internet privacy law forever. Mario Costeja González, whose name appeared in old newspaper articles that linked him to debt problems, had requested that Google remove the search links.

The court ruled that individuals who believe their outdated data harms their privacy have the right to request its removal. Companies that fail to comply may face significant fines.

This ruling, which only applies within the EU, has been deeply controversial. Journalists, whose work depends on public access to historical information, argued it threatened press freedom. Historians expressed concern about a world where inconvenient facts could simply be deleted.

A system whereby anyone could request the erasure of legally published information was described by critics as "digital amnesia." The company whose search results triggered the original case — Google — lost.

The debate continues: the right to privacy versus the right to information — two fundamental values that cannot always coexist. The year when this ruling was made marked a turning point in how the internet, which had long operated as an unlimited archive, was forced to face questions of accountability.

The law that I find most important is the right to a fair trial, which is protected in most democratic constitutions. My professor, who has worked in criminal law for thirty years, believes access to justice is the foundation of a functioning society. The regulation which was introduced in 2020, and which has already prevented dozens of wrongful convictions, must be strengthened further.

The right to education is a fundamental principle which every child deserves, regardless of background. Those whose families cannot afford schooling are systematically denied opportunities. It is a right which must be enforced globally, not just in wealthy nations. The organisations that campaign for this cause deserve far greater support.
