It's easy to say that forgetting is an ethical act if you're the perpetrator of things you want people to forget. Reading this article, it seems she once got her jollies making the world a worse place for her political enemies.

She seems to sincerely think that Twitter is bad, but it's not bad because of what she did with it, it's bad because well, you don't always win fights on it and when you attack someone you can get in trouble too and that's really messy and she doesn't want to deal with that. If she didn't want to deal with it, she didn't have to participate; the kind of political activism described in this article is not how most people use Twitter.

I can understand wanting people to forget if you said one or two things years ago and people took them out of context. Or even if you did one misdeed, but it was years ago. This is not, according to her article, why she wants people to forget.

Yeah, it sounds like she only regrets the swings she took that didn't land. I am not surprised, she was so often busy cranking the wheels of the Euphemism Treadmill. Anything, I suppose, to distract one from the burden of self-awareness.
