Right to be forgotten, to me, implies a right to rewrite history. If we extend this to other media - "Right to remove all mentions of my name from indexes in published books" does this make any sense at all? If anything, you already have the right to solicit a retraction and or takedown to fix the problem. You're not asking for the source material to be removed from the web root content, because that would be crazy and a violation of rights, so you're just asking for the revealing of its existence to be removed? Similar to requests from users to "change the way that thing looks on the chart", the reason why it looks that way is because the data is there. Either change the data, or live with the picture it presents. Sure, you can blame the graph for its approach to displaying the data, but removal is a clear half-measure. When it's clear a full measure fix is a terrible idea, the half-measure is probably also at least half as terrible, or maybe / .5 as terrible depending on which "law" you use.
