Comment on A list of search results omitted due to the “Right to be forgotten”parent

Even many of the sites currently on the list seem like "not a big deal". E.g. petty theft by private citizens, gossip, etc.

The only reason some of the currently listed sites even exist is that some reporter figured they could make a few bucks of ad revenue and didn't care about other's privacy. Removing them does absolutely no harm to society; I have no problem with starving sleazy reporters out of their jobs.

edit: the law is clearly unworkable, but I'm a huge fan of its intent.
