> No, they don't. That is a specific case, wherein someone could arguably publish data, because it's public.
That is my point. Much as you may wish it to be otherwise, your home address is not private information. Quite apart from the fact that you are required to publicly disclose your home address under certain circumstances, anyone who knows your home address is free to publish it if they want to and there's nothing you can do about it. Not even RTBF changes that.
> It would be trivial to change that law
Yes, of course, but so what? Unless and until the law is changed, it is what it is.
> you have a 'user agreement' with Google
I may have granted Google a license to use my copyrighted material. I have have even signed my rights over to them. I don't know because I don't use Google Notes, so I haven't read the T's&C's. But none of that matters because the initial state for any content I create is that I hold the copyright, and so if I want to control its distribution I can. There's no need for RTBF.
The only situation under which RTBF is applicable where existing law is not is when someone wants to remove true information about themselves published by a third party. (If the information is not true then libel laws apply.)
