Cue all the Canadian politicians asking to be forgotten for inviting and celebrating an actual Nazi in Parliament this week. I'm wary of the "right to be forgotten". In this particular case, the complainant (allegedly) had false information posted about them that was detrimental. This can certainly happen. But why aren't the outlets who posted that false information on the hook? There is a balance between people having a permanent mark against them for doing something stupid and the public having a right to know when, say, someone actually commits a crime. There are PR firms that specialize in "reputation repair" where wealthy people will pay a bunch of money to have anything disparaging about them removed from the Internet or just buried. This can take the form of takedowns but can be way more isidious eg buying a local newspaper to simply bury a story.
