- card_zero 3y agoIs it? It's not "like an NDA". You get the data erased (if it is agreed that your privacy is more important than the public interest) after the fact of the data being made public.
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoWhich is why it's controversial, and inconsistent with free speech. If you want to be forgotten, you change your name and move somewhere else. That should be a right, because it puts it into the hands of the person who wants it to happen. You should be able to e.g. change your social security number, without the government telling anyone what your old one was. Now you're "forgotten" and get to start over. How do you have a right to selectively suppress information about your past? That's just a boon to liars and scammers because they can do it continuously at no cost to themselves. And even then, it's still something you have to explicitly ask for, not something that happens by default, notwithstanding that you can do it retroactively.
