> 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).
