I'm familiar with it. I fundamentally disagree with its assumptions on rights.

If you send me a letter, you shouldn't be able to compel me to shred it. If you come into my shop with a clear exoectation of security surveillance, the video should be mine entirely.

If you send my server your IP, that's my information now, and you shouldn't be able to compel me to delete it. But somehow this backwards concept of ownership has gotten popular where every individual is the perpetual tyrant of any information they leave in the world as they go through it. They can tell me to forget something they told me and now various governments will try to punish me if I don't agree to the façade. 1984 comparisons might be a cliché but this fits the memory hole analogy all too well.
