It’s only a right if it applies to everyone. Also, there should be certain classes of things that one can’t erase that way. Should a convicted pedophile have the right to scrub the internet of references to their crime? What about a murderer? The idea is a lot easier to swallow if it’s only related to things the person said.

What about a murderer? No, but doing that would compel law enforcement agencies to expunge all public records and the news media to erase all relevant content related to a criminal matter. No one is suggesting the right to be forgotten is or should be that extreme. As mentioned in the article, there already are certain classes of things that one can't erase away, notwithstanding the fact that removing something from Google is not equivalent to removing it from the internet.
