Let me take a shot at answering this. The idea is that the internet is a social construct. The information it holds is shared knowledge accessible to everyone.

Contrast burning your photos with burning all copies of a book. On the internet, a lot of things exist in the gray area between them.

That makes it difficult to judge if the info that was is private or public.

Unless I want to delete what's mine.

I have no obligation of leaving it there for others to read.

That's a very wrong comparison.

You burn many copies of a single book

While I defend the right of deleting a single copy of the private work of a single human

Just like a painter has the right to destroy their own paintings.

it's already happened before

it is a right and it is unalienable
