Right to be forgotten is iffy, because we should have the right to hold public figures accountable, and that is where it would be mostly used. If you get arrested for drunk driving, lose all respectability in your community, and then remove it form the net, your life is still fucked. But if you are Donald Trump, having the right to immediately depublish things until it is proven that you are person if interest is usefull.

A right to privacy and a data letter (every outlet and company must inform you via mail about any data, articles etc on their servers/in their publication in which personal information about you is involved, if they are either supplying a service or writing the story) would fill most of that niche in my opinion

Right to autonomy I agree, that is basically stallmann. First sale doctrine, freedom to tinker, software freedom...things like this

Right to anonymity goes into dangerous territory again...you should have a right to not be surveilled(privacy), which makes it harder to connect you to your speech (good). But if somebody figures it out,having the right to stop that is ...dangerous again.Especially with the bullshit idea that corporate money is speech, that right would make it illegal to unmask bribery
