I met your friend yesterday and he was showing me some pictures from a camping trip he took last week. I asked "who's that guy standing to your left" and he told me it was you. Now I know what you look like, forever, and you can't ask me to forget or delete that either. I don't see the problem here.

You don't see it because you aren't looking for it, and are probably not interested in it. You're just unilaterally opposing a viewpoint.

I'll make it easy - you're not an oracle on the identities of 500 million people, no matter how many camping photos you look at. When you are, we'll be uncomfortable about you as well.

Why would you be uncomfortable in that case? How do the potential drawbacks of such an oracle existing outweigh the potential positives?
