  In the specific case you mention, sex offender registries are administered by the government. Anyone that society deems to still be a risk is still on the list, regardless of the right to be forgotten removing newspaper entries about them.

  >I do not want crimes that are deemed acceptable to be forgotten to be delegated to private corporations. But that's effectively the opposite of that. It's the government that mandates that private corporations implement the "right to be forgotten", regardless of the reason. The corporation has no say on the matter. On the other hand if you do not have something like that then you live it up to private entities to effectively implement vigilante justice by listing supposed pedophiles forever on their websites for instance. If you really think that people who commit pedophilia and other heinous crimes are forever unfit to live in society you should get your government to enact laws that make sure they're never released without supervision for instance. I mean unless you're a proponent of vigilante justice, but then you are effectively delegating justice to private entities, corporations or otherwise.

    AFAIK search engines have the right to determine if a request is 'reasonable' according to some internal criteria. That's not something I'm comfortable with anyone having.
