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

Comments

The site lists all known applications of the right to be forgotten ruling, without any further comment. The list maintainer does not exercise any editorial judgement at all, so I don't think there is a narrow focus on disadvantages.

If I understand you correctly, your argument is "this site claims to be about internet censorship, but it only talks about the right to be forgotten ruling. But the right to be forgotten is unusually bad, and there are other forms of more beneficial censorship. So listing just the right to be forgotten cases gives censorship in general an undeservedly bad name".

However, the page is specifically about the right to be forgotten. Even the portion you quoted specifically calls out "the recent rulings by the EU". You are acting as if the page was calling for the abolition of all forms of censorship, but I think the text actually makes quite clear that it isn't.
