> I would far rather RTBF requests be reviewed and approved or rejected by a government office, not a search engine company.

Wouldn't that mean politicians and their cronies can more easily scrub their own histories? Government holding the keys to approve/reject RTBF means it will be biased in favor of self-serving government-related RTBF requests

Not necessarily. Governments tend to have pretty decent records and processes of their own. Note all of the difficulties Trump has trying to just make the US government do whatever the heck he feels like on any given day.

And the biggest part about these decisions being handled by government is that there would be accountability, records, and appeals, all of which you really don't have when a corporation is making the decision.
