Rather than speculate or reinvent from first principles, we could look at existing “right to be forgotten” laws like GDPR: https://gdpr.eu/right-to-be-forgotten/ https://gdpr.eu/right-to-be-forgotten/ Not sure what the Canadian basis is, but in general these laws recognize that it’s a tradeoff where the public has some interest in most information, and the individual may have an interest in it being forgotten. Criminal records would be a clear grey area where one could make the case for a public interest particularly in the short term, which is less strong over time. But inaccurate reporting is clearly much less eligible for the public interest. I think phrasing it as a right is perhaps sets the wrong framing, as it’s quite conditional. (Certainly seems to trigger many Americans.)
