The proper way to handle such mess would be a "right to be forgiven", not a "right no be forgotten". But then, some things are easier to forget than to forgive.


The only connection with "such a mess" and the EU court ruling are the word "forgotten" and a Spaniard.

The EU court does not disagree with you, no matter how hard the anti-privacy lobby tries to make it look that way.


I'm pretty sure if the government had a way to force people to forgive, they'd try to. But so far they can only find way to control the information, not thought. I guess something is better than nothing for them.


The NSA doesn't want to know everything you do because they suspect you of anything, but because they can't be sure the will never suspect you.
