While your misunderstanding of the comment may be a genuine mistake, your comment could be considered "straw man garbage" itself. Your tone is condescending and you might want to consider re-phrasing. The post you're replying to is suggesting that removal from Google results _should_ be part of US law. Perhaps the impact of Google is such that there should be legislation regulating Google's behaviour. In the UK we have a public phone book maintained by British Telecom. I can opt out of the phone book but BT cannot choose not to include me if I've opted IN. BT is a private company but this one aspect of their output is regulated by law. The difference between a private company selling a service and something considered an essential utility is legislation, presumably?
