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.

I disagree and you are wrong.  They are legally very different. I cant demand the removal of copies of a newspaper already in circulation or the wiping of a public court record or the wiping of brains that watched the OJ trial .  I can easily delete a picture from facebook if I remember to do so.

 

i suggest you read your own OP.

The decision came after Mario Costeja Gonzalez complained that a search of his name in Google brought up newspaper articles from 16 years ago about a sale of property to recover money he owed.

we're not talking about removing a picture from your facebook.  we're talking about taking newspaper articles and censoring them.  you said you can't remove copies of newspapers already in circulation.  tell me why the digital newspapers should be treated differently?
