Good question.

While the right to forget is socially beneficial for society, there are technical problems that make it inconvenient. There is the problem of whether it is censorship to force a neutral party whose mandate is merely to store historical copies of data to remove it. Or is it Google's responsibility to just 'forget' that the copy exists in the web archive?

Do defaced websites get indexed by the internet archive? Does illegal information get removed from the internet archive?

What exactly is "illegal information"? In the US for the most part, we have a distinction between the information and how it was obtained. Daniel Ellsberg may have done something illegal when he released the Pentagon Papers, but once it was in the hands of journalists, the US could not stop its publication.

I also disagree that the "right to forget" is socially beneficial. It may benefit individuals who have negative thing about them that they want expunged, but for society as a whole, we are the worse off because if everyone can have their image cleaned of their past, predators and destructive people will have an easier time hiding and preying on others.
