"Right to be forgotten" is the wrong kind of control to give to people over their private information. I can understand why people may not want to be tracked over the internet, but from what I know "Right to be forgotten" has nothing to do with google storing cookies in your web-browser.
It is a step in the right direction gone to far, stepping over what is actually important.

- kuschku 11y agoThe EU doesn’t want the information deleted. Imagine I was suspected as criminal once. Then, if someone searches for the case, they should be able to find it. If someone just searches my name, they shouldn’t. The issue isn’t existence of information, but that this information is connected to your name.
