I love playing devils advocate and even i wont argue this.

The sites sound like a good way to level the playing field between the powerful and the drones. Only natural that the powerful will find a way to shut them down.

This too makes me a sad panda

A theoretical thought experiment has me more worried: if politicians are allowed to expunge their records, and qualify as ordinary citizens with the right not to track; and if corporations are people too: is there a point in a hypothetical future where corporations will fall under the right not to track rule as well, and can expunge anything written about them online?

Here are some bamboo leaves for you, Sad Panda.

Please let that never happen. I want to be optimistic and say that the people would never allow that but.... Yeah....

What a thoughtful gift. Omnom.
