I understand the sentiment but strongly disagree with the cure. We all agree that what happens in the remote past where you possibly were a different person should not affect your present (and future) you. The better solution is to have people actually think about you and put your old actions in perspective. The proposed solution is to hide your old actions under the rug, in hope that it will not affect other people's judgements. In short, make it so that critical thinking is not needed. And _this_ is what the law will allow: Have people believe in what they see, because it has been curated for them. Whether it's a misrepresentation (Person A has been "involved" in a murder according to newspaper, where "involved" actually means "witnessed") or just hiding opinion (like the article). People shouldn't need to think. This is a really dangerous path we're following (and I'm speaking as a EU citizen)
