Isn't the right to be forgotten something, that esp. relates to search engines? They (esp. Google) have to delete the links to this content, but the content can stay on the web forever.
So this isn't per se a problem. But what happens, when I act as a "mirror" in this net and have mirrored some questionable content (who ever might define questionable is up to anybody to imagine). Will I get a shake down from the authorities, as oftentimes happened with people having tor exit nodes?
I fear that the clash would come rather sooner then later, as a lot of people do have a lot of incentives for a centralized web (money, politics, control, power).
- paublyrne 11y agoI don't believe that law should be shaped by technology in principle. It should be shaped by what the majority think is right for society. But the right to be forgotten is a flawed concept to me, and I think any tech that makes its implementation more problematic will do us a favour.

- npongratz 11y ago> It should be shaped by what the majority think is right for society. I would kindly suggest that we consider examples from history when laws backed by the majority have resulted in horrifying, depraved violence and deprivation; then contemplate whether it is indeed moral to shape law through majority opinion.
