as far as i'm concerned,.. so long as the linked article is actually factual that goes into our living history.  i don't want anyone censoring public records. 

e.g. - should all links to OJ simpsons murder trial be deleted?  he was found not guilty so that entire trial is "no longer relavant"?  should he be able to opt out of those search results?

The OJ Simpson thing falls under public interest.   CLEARLY it is also public record and in the public domain as seen in newspapers, tv shows and court records. 

You making an ass of yourself on some college based website with a stupid comment or lewd phtograph isn't public interest or public record.  Dont you think you should have the right to remove that?

The difference is very obvious and very stark.

while the story you paint sounds very different on paper,.. the legalize of it doesn't.

so no.  i don't think that i should have the "right" to remove that.  and i don't think you can't make a clear cut case of what is "public record".  what if that stupid comment was a racist comment about how all black people should yaddy yaddy yadda and then that kid goes on to run for public office.  i want the right to know that.
