Yeah, I hope so too. But unlike the downvoters (including you?) I'm not willing to throw freedom of speech, and freedom of the press, and the right to know the past all out the window for this. This is book-burning on a massive scale. When you retire and write your memoirs you will not be allowed to put in true facts that you can prove. If the right to be forgotten is indeed a right, then that story you wrote about "you show me yours I'll show you mine" justifies busting in to the home of everyone who bought your book in order to put in on the bonfire. It's as if your life is under a national security gag order, and you'll never be allowed to tell what you did not just in the CIA, but anywhere with anyone. > Because that's a very real thing that happens to a large number of people who have made enemies through ex-lovers, jilted coworkers, and just garden variety online trolls that maybe didn't take kindly to a random post you made online somewhere. There are already laws against the actions I think you're implying here.
