This is a great argument for the intangible value of the right to individual privacy.

  You have every right to individual privacy. Once you yield it you don't have a right to make other people pretend they don't remember you.

    Unless you live in the EU apparently. Not that I think it's right.

      It's not really a right. It's a law that someone "can't". There really is a big difference. I'm not saying it's wrong, but the deliberate abuse of terminology undermines the discussion of real rights.

        Is life a right?

    I'd say there's a qualitative difference between "a company you dealt with remembers you" and "a company you dealt with for some unrelated matter will now proceed to send a representative to follow you around permanently, reporting back on everything you do, so that they can build a hidden profile about you." That's the equivalent of what's happening on the web at the moment.
