>If I post a photo to facebook with "public" settings, then later want to delete it, facebook should do so. If an indexer like google has indexed it, then they should delete it too. Profile photos are an instance. I'm not sure I agree with that. It's certainly valid for them to retain a snapshot of that time with the profile photo available. Or are you suggesting they are expected to alter/modify snapshots (or log data) to cater to after-the-fact decisions?

The whole point of the right to be forgotten is that they do not retain those snapshots.

  Then I think the "right to be forgotten" is utter bullshit. It's isn't and shouldn't be a right.

  The right to be forgotten is a bad idea. At best, it might be reasonable to pursue a right to demand amendment.

You post a photo to facebook. You accidentally have the wrong sharing settings, which you notice too late. Should there be no ability to change your mind? We're operating in this "once it's online, it's out of your control" but that's a new kind of thing, and it's shitty.

  > We're operating in this "once it's online, it's out of your control" but that's a new kind of thing, and it's shitty. It's new? I think it's always been like that since the dawn of the internet (and before if you substitute "online" for "published"). The idea that you should have a right to force other entities to forget public information that they saw is what seems to be new. > You accidentally have the wrong sharing settings, which you notice too late. Should there be no ability to change your mind? Well, it's like accidentally telling someone a secret and then wishing there was legislature to force them to forget what you told them (assuming we have a technology for human memory deletion).
