Effects of Right to be Forgotten

As a follow-up to the discussion in class today, this article really shows the dangerous effects of a 'right to be forgotten' law.

While I think most people would agree with not wanting to have their name tied to certain things on the internet, having the ability to self-censor those items and have links to major news stories deleted is actually a scary concept. This level of censoring would not be allowed to exist in the world of print journalism.
