Japanese Court Demands 'Right To Be Forgotten' For Sex Offender (thestack.com)
An anonymous reader writes: A Tokyo court has ordered that Google remove any results linked to the arrest of a sex offender, after a judge ruled that he deserves to rebuild his life 'unhindered' by online records of his criminal history. Citing the right to be forgotten, the Saitma district court demanded the removal of all personal information online related to the conviction. Judge Hisaki Kobayashi argued that, dependent on the nature of the crime, an individual should be able to go through a fair rehabilitation process, which would include a clean sheet on their online records after a certain amount of time has passed. In this case, the unnamed man had requested that information from more than three years ago, related to his child prostitution and pornography crimes, be removed from Google's results.
I always thought Pedo's should be "fixed" and then dropped in a "Devil's Island" type place for the rest of their lives. No support. No food. No guards. No doctors. Better get started on that garden if you want to eat something and if bigger and badder bad guys come fuck you up then too bad. Guess you shouldn't have done what you did to children. Hell I'd make a version of "Survivor" out of it. Cameras on big steel poles and a late night time slot or streaming over Netflix would be fine.
