Equating this to a "life sentance" is a strawman argument. It's a matter of factual record. Opening up the door to allow people to erase facts (of offenses) about themselves will be exploited, just as it is being done in this article.
- simion314 7y agoFacts are not deleted, you can ask for a criminal record. If you mean that Googling a name and finding an accusation as a fact then think again, many such accusation are exaggerated or false. Also keep in mind that people share the same name and it happens that they live in close proximity (they may be related) so you may get your "facts" wrong when googling me but finding out that my cousin was in a fight 20 years ago or had an unpopular opinion back then.
- new_here 7y agoAgain, strawman. An accusation is not a fact. If someone writes something about you and cannot defend it by reference to recorded legal offence or proceeding then it should be taken down.
