And nothing is forbidden. The right to be forgotten is opt-out. You can publish anything you like, and unlike DMCA you can let any dispute go all the way up the legal chain.

Websites cannot opt-out of following these requests. >unlike DMCA you can let any dispute go all the way up the legal chain.
