Practice your freedom of speech outside my personal life.
- grzm 10y agoCan you expand on this? What I have in mind is where to draw the line between your personal life and your interactions with others. Posts on public forums (including HN)? Your Facebook page? Your github repos? Someone else writing a blog post about an experience they shared with you? I sympathize with some of the intent. It's increasingly difficult to have a private life. I just am wondering how practical it is. I know the Right to Be Forgotten doesn't necessarily include all of these, but I can imagine it be expanded in a way that's doesn't seem to be much of a "slippery slope".
- wav-part 10y agoHow about any personal information illegally obtained (the act already a crime most likely) be defined illegal unless already available legally. However there is still a question of, If a content be blocked globally if its illegal in some country. No IMHO.
- grzm 10y agoany personal information illegally obtained You're right, that should be removed. As you say, it's already a crime, so that wouldn't need any additional support by the RTBF.
- suby 10y agoI think I disagree. By that logic we would also be deleting information like that gained from the Snowden leaks
- grzm 10y agoDamnit. Why can't this be simple? Is this type of thing really personal information, though? Would it be something covered by RTBF?
- wav-part 10y ago> Is this type of thing really personal information, though? Its not. So the rule still works.
- DiabloD3 10y agoIt actually is simple. Covering up an illegal act using state-granted powers is illegal. Someone "breaking the law" to tell people you committed illegal acts is not illegal in any meaningful sense.
- patcon 10y agoWith all due respect, I think the position OP's advocating is that people need to start defending the right to have what you're calling a "personal life". Our lives are no longer personal, at least in the sense of information ownership, which is what we're talking about. The term's continued usage is a polite lie involving curtains and a cheerful aversion of thought. RTBF is reactive policy-making at it's worst. Resources are finite. Make those companies spend resources doing something useful for our rights.
