Here's an alternative: When you turn 18, you get an automatic free name change. I'm sure it'll be a pain in the ass for the person in question, but it's easier

Here's an alternative: When you turn 18, you get an automatic free name change. I'm sure it'll be a pain in the ass for the person in question, but it's easier than making the Internet forget something.
Besides, if an annoying bureaucratic process is sufficient to deter you from going ahead with a name change, then the privacy interest at stake here can't be that huge.

- andrewfong 12y agoYou're trying to oversolve the problem. Most of the legitimate right to be forgotten requests concern things like "I don't want my status as rape survivor to come up when an employer Googles me". If someone wants to doc they're doing to dox, regardless of any right to be forgotten. But a name change is good enough for 90% of folks.
