Otherwise history is going to look very different in the near future. Holocaust? Sorry, no records available. Khmer Rouge? Never happened.
You do realize that those events are documented by first hand accounts and historians right? How is being erased from Google's databases close to erasing the memories of witnesses or even the ability of historians to publish books? Not even close sorry.
Our prior actions do, and should, affect our future. Having paid ones debt to society is not the same as suddenly becoming trustworthy just because our past can be hidden...
People say this shit all of the time then something happens to them or they get sick or something. Then they suddenly become the one exception to the rule. What you saying is more of the same kind of talk that control freaks say that think that they control who they meet, what they see, and what they hear all of the time. Thinking that the more self selected information that they dig up will prevent anything bad from happening to them or their loved ones.
