I'm not sure we really disagree. Anything my 18 yo self wrote that's still accessible online was filtered through editors etc. and I'm not unhappy for that :-) While I'm no fan of much of the EU right to be forgotten thinking, I'm also sympathetic to the idea that not everything we write in a young, foolish moment should be discoverable forever with no recourse. I also think that there are a lot of practical issues to getting rid of the foolishness without also creating the opportunity to eliminate things that are legitimately in the public interest/part of a historical record although, in practice, I expect that some combination of time and the sheer volume of data deals with a lot of it.
