It also allows every critical statement about anyone to be erased from the internet.

This effectively kills freedom of speech.

Well, here in Italy, a girl just committed suicide because of some revenge hard video that was published 2 years ago and that became very famous (meme-level famous, including people printing t-shirts, etc.). She tried to escape for 2 years, including trying to change her name. Eventually, she just couldn't handle it anymore.

I'd rather lose some accountability of past critical statements.

What do you mean by "some"?

What past critical statements are immune to this?
