I am references the rules of society, and despite whatever legal nonsense HN wants to say they can do, the fact remains both California and the entire EU has the right to be forgotten and the right to erasure as a matter of law.

You get to dictate what the rules of the entire society are? I am part of "society". I earnestly believe that once you publish something on the internet, it should be there forever (or for as long as that particular medium exists). That's the internet I grew up on. If you went to a newsgroup, or later a forum, whatever you posted there became "society's" and no longer belongs just to you.

You don't have a right to dictate what other people can remember about you.
