I was feeling less safe, that has improved. Why go back in time?

- izacus 9y agoBecause it hurts innocent people.
- sorokod 9y agoIs it possible that your feeling is entirely subjective and not backed by any statistics ?
- EpicEng 9y agoGood thing we don't write law based on feelings. Were you _actually_ less safe? I highly doubt it.
- rootlocus 9y agoIf anything, you were probably feeling safer without being connected 24/7 to all the problems in the world. I'm really skeptical you were more afraid of strangers because you couldn't access public records about them.
- TomMarius 9y agoNo, I'm feeling safer because employers are able to look it up and thus make better decisions. It has nothing to do with me looking up random strangers.
- rootlocus 9y agoEmployers don't look up candidates on google, they look up criminal records with the authorities. It has nothing to do with the right to be forgotten. It was possible before, and it will be possible in the future.
- distances 9y agoI don't know where you live but here employers aren't allowed to look up things other than what is provided by the applicant anyway. Googling the name and using that for hiring decisions is simply illegal. Just ask all the relevant and legally allowed bits in your application process.
- CryptoPunk 9y agoThe "right to be forgotten" is the natural end-game in the positive rights charade. Now you have a right to dictate what will be in someone else's mind.
