Ah, "right to forget". How lovely and Orwellian. Instead of "right to censor", which is what it is.

What this is battling is people who can't cope with the world changing. Too bad for them. No sympathy here.

Oh, I'm sure the guy could cope with the world changing. But can his future boss? You're acting as if that were in his control.
Just because one person can't handle shoes does not mean that they should be given a magical de-shoeing ray gun.

Just because one person cannot cope with changing technology does not mean that the rest of us should be crippled to their level. To do this through censorship is double odious.
