Some crimes may be an indication of a bad decision or a mistake people have moved past others are reasonably an indelible indication of bad character. For instance good people don't kill their wives for money, drag joggers into the bushes to rape them or molest children. Neither search engines nor governments seem well suited to make this distinction so I'd just as soon privilege non criminals ability to make decisions to protect themselves over the privacy and well being of the criminals not to punish wrongdoing but out of selfish self interest. I do not support the right to be forgotten and think false DMCA claims out to carry the same fine as copyright infringement to discourage misuse.
