One would think that such a thing would be beneficial to everyone, but the people who want most to be able to eliminate their online records are those who we don’t want to be able to cover their tracks. That gives one pause.
Google’s right to be forgotten: 70,000 politicians, criminals, and individuals want offending content erased
Paedophile, pediatrician, and doctor in bids to erase internet past
Particularly, I think we should have a way to show that a politician is lying about what he has said or done in the past. Or to be able to see reviews of doctors, or even restaurants for that matter. If everyone removes their own negative press, what value can we place on any information on the internet?
Note: @Dutchess_III there may be ways to remove content that you found, or at least keep it from being publicly visible.
