Down and down the rabbit hole we go
Interesting comments, interesting move on the part of google.
If someone wants to be "forgotten" by Google, he can still be "remembered" on search results outside of his geographical jurisdiction. And sordid pasts and deeds remain easily accessible via VPN, alternate search engines and the Wayback Machine.
Next step: someone builds a website that displays links to copies (or originals) of all the "forgotten information". Lots of fun, coming soon. Streisand effect guaranteed, perhaps monetised
In the end, we should really ask: what is the point of this bullshit wankfest? An awful lot of trouble for a very weak result that smells like the first forays into WWW censorship. Luckily, I have just finished setting up Internet 2.0 in my remote woodland, fiber-optic connected cabin. I have a mirror node roaming around in a camoflaged camper van with sat dish. Forget that minister......
Why do we let them spend tax money on this sort of poppycock? Information technology should be made exempt from legislative meddling. If no one is being killed by it, then just leave it alone.
