These are reasonable people, they decided it will not be available in our society.

You are worried comcast goes bankrupt?



That's my point. You're free to decide if this information should or should not be available to the public.

But you've done nothing to take down the source of the information so it's still in the public domain. Then you try to control who can make an index of information that is already freely available.

If your society decides the information should be non-public, then have the source take it down. But how can you leave it in the public domain and then try to control who is allowed to look at it?


Yeah, you people that think this censorship is a good idea think they are reasonable people.


Hello Richard.

These Europian law makers have this most ambitious idea for all personal information on the corporate websites to be editable by yours truly. Wikipedians go as far as to claim that one can not validate authorship over the Internet. If you cant offer the user the right to vanish it follows that you shouldn't be data mining the person let alone distribute it.
