The system is developed by a group of German computer and will be available in principle for Firefox users
The news, published by the DPA news agency, appeared to respond to the request of German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere, who last month said that "it would be important to teach internet to forget or" can not find "in the future in certain areas."
According to DPA, the official Democrat said that "every statement on the Internet is potentially people around the world," and it "prevents you rehabilitate someone who is prejudiced by a statement against him."
The new tool designed by the team of programmers at the University of Saarland, will allow users to enter a code that sets an expiration date to content.
"Whoever is a photo of your party social networks disappear after a couple of months, you only need to put expiry date when the board," explained as an example the project manager, Michael Backes.
The system is easy to use and does not require much effort, but incorporate an additional program (Add-on) to the browser. Its inventors clarified
not active on facebook or other social networks, but on content. "Do not manipulate, intervene only" in the archives, "says Backes.
Researchers plan to have a prototype ready during this month, in a first version of Firefox. For
that search engines like Google or Bing fail to store the data when it is loaded, the experts erected a barrier: a sequence called Captcha, which distorts letters and numbers.
Computers can not read automatically, but people do. The system, however, has its flaws.
not offer complete security, because the data can be copied before they expire and loaded back into the network.
But this requires much more effort, he added Backes, arguing that "it is highly unlikely that people devote to store photos and texts from friends and acquaintances on a large scale."
