    But he's asking that we delete public history which is absurd. If the courts wanted it sealed they had that option. Part of his sentence was his conviction be public for all to see forever. I'd have a little more sympathy if this crime happened 30 years ago before the internet, but this is 10 years ago, anyone that committed a crime then should expect they could be on the internet as a criminal.

    And what about mistakes and fake news. The procedure to be forgotten should much easier, for anyone.

    That's why the question "Do we trust the legal system?". If we do, the guy is supposed to serve due time proportional to his crime, enough to discourage him to commit another perjury.

    That's not the point. Serial rapist are (hoepfully) an exception. It became so easy to know anything about anyone, everyone should have the right to opt out. Simple as that.
