Association for Accountability and Internet Democracy

AAID is an association created on 16 December 2014 under French law (Loi du 1er juillet 1901 relative au contrat d’association) and headquartered at 140 Faubourg Saint Honoré in Paris.

The initiative to create AAID was taken after the important judgment of the European Court of Justice of May 13th 2014 (known as the “Right to be Forgotten”). We learned about the fate of over hundreds of victims all over the world who suffered and continue to suffer the consequences of defamation, denigration and cyberbullying on job loss, divorce, virtual destruction of their lives and despair leading even to suicide (according to information released by Google in 2015, 218,320 requests to remove links have been made in Europe).
