- ezequiel-garzon 8y agoPretty sure arXiv would remove slander with a court order as well. It's an unrelated issue.
- crooked-v 8y agoIf material can be removed, it's not irremovable.
- mehrdadn 8y agoI think it's fair to assume "not-${VERB}able" means "as not-${VERB}able as legally possible".
- ndr 8y agoThis gets tricky with things like blockchains.
- lapinot 8y agoWe regularly confuse irrevocability of licenses and actual availability. The former is something we here probably agree cannot not make sense (once the beans are spilled there's no going back, you can't withdraw intellectual property: what you gave is now irrevocably tied to the recipient, they gained knowledge). The latter is clearly wrong: there's no such thing as universal availability. As humans behinds keyboards we pretty much decide in any way we want what part of (information about) our knowledge we share.
- ezequiel-garzon 8y agoMy choice of words was indeed not optimal, though you probably know that ambiguity pervades natural languages, and that it is yet often clear what was meant. I want to hope that you don’t fear physical amputation when a friend says to you “give me a hand”, for instance.
