No. The right to be forgotten law is not an adaptation, it is an attempt to cling on to the past.
In the past your personal history was difficult to dig. Nowadays it is archived on the Internet for anyone to search and read. These laws try to emulate the past environment in the new information age.
Instead, I think we should let information flow. People will adapt to having lots of information available, and the effect of negative signals, that people are so afraid of today, will probably be minor. As an example: who cares if you smoked pot in college when 60% of people also have an online record of smoking pot.
- samastur 11y agoNo, it is an adaptation, but time will show how successful. Just as it does for every other. Adaptations are not only changes that succeed or that conform to the way you would like to see society evolve.
