>And as an individual I should have the right to remove that information.
Information that you published, sure, but the "right to be forgotten" is about what other people published about you, and your inconvenience does not trump those other people's rights.
When a news story about you is inconvenient and damaging to your reputation is when it matters most that it stay online and reachable.
- NovaS1X 11y agoYes. I agree. That's exactly what I've been arguing for. Maybe you should read my many arguments in this topic again. I'm arguing against people claiming that this will be used for taking down of news articles and censorship. I thing those things are bad. I'm talking about online harassment, shaming, and public information detrimental to the individual that was posted by that individual or others in attempt to harass out of spite. I'm not arguing legitimate news articles should be censored. I strongly believe in freedom of the press and speech. There's a difference between whistle blowing/journalism and harassment and public shaming. We're not in the dark ages anymore.
