I don't believe that law should be shaped by technology in principle. It should be shaped by what the majority think is right for society.

But the right to be forgotten is a flawed concept to me, and I think any tech that makes its implementation more problematic will do us a favour.

I would kindly suggest that we consider examples from history when laws backed by the majority have resulted in horrifying, depraved violence and deprivation; then contemplate whether it is indeed moral to shape law through majority opinion.

But problem is that it is. It's a EU law, so while I agree with you, I sense the IPFS will clash with this law. Let's wait and see, progress can't be stopped though...
