Is there a right to be forgotten? Because if there is, a) it should not be limited to the internet: one should be able to request to be forgotten by a certain group or by the humanity altogether. This is not possible. b) it is not practical: to what extent does it apply (in essence, not in practice)? I grab pdf-prints of articles sometimes. Am I guilty if an author wants their online presence removed? More, there are many search services, many other services that index and archive online content, which of these would have to respond to such requests? And if the right is not limited to the internet, how it is possible to do, practically? Well, it's impossible. c) it is a right that conflicts with the freedom of thought: It should be at one's own will to forget something or not, this is a state intervention into peoples knowledge and memories. d) it has implications on posthumous publications of work: after someone is passed away, who decides if they shall be forgotten or not? Or does anybody have the right to? e) it has implications on the collective knowledge of the man: if, say, Stephen Hawking wanted to be forgotten, we'd have lost some important part of it. f) it has implications on derived works and citations: If one quotes person A, in, say a blog post, and if that person A wanted to be forgotten, what will the citing author would have to do? Anonymise the quotes? Remove them? I guess this right to be forgotten is either not a right, and is an example of a freedom that violates others' freedoms. It's unbelievable that serious, smart people (!) got convinced enough about this that this became a law. Publicising something is completely at one's will. Will brings responsibilities, and one should either take the responsibility for what he publishes, or live with the consequences. Because if there is a right, it applies globally, i.e. equally to the non-digital realm, and the right to be forgotten would have really bad consequences.
