All the more dangerous if you can't find out someone is a white supremacist because they've politely asked to have the internet scrubbed all the terrible things they've done.
- 5ilv3r 10y agoThat's not true at all. If you had those opinions and wanted to keep them to yourself, how could that possibly be a bad thing? Shutting up about biases and intolerance is a fine way to allow clearer thoughts to be heard.
- macintux 10y agoTo play devil's advocate, discovering a prospective nanny is a proponent of killing children that look like yours is much better than finding out after you've hired her.
- JupiterMoon 10y agoThere is a public interest test that could be applied (and is, albeit imperfectly, with the "right to be forgotten"). If said nanny said something 20 years ago and has since changed her views completely it is not really relevant - people's opinions change. If she has actually killed children is very very relevant.
