Personally I can think of fewer crueler punishments than having a swarth of your history, having your past obliterated. Burning down a valuable part of the library of human existence feels awful, period. And I have such a hard time recognizing what pushes people towards the evn more radical info-suicide. Fear for oneself, of being seen? Spite against the not-so-benevolent librarians? Seeing bits of the web die, seeing linkrot & bitrot creep in... it's awful. All those conversations people had with you, and now you are just nothing, a ghost... it's horrific.
