This is really interesting to me which is why I posted the article. It's a strange struggle between advocacy for privacy in the digital age and advocacy for free speech and the right to information.

Reading the article and the link you've shared, I'm definitely more in the camp for a right to information. Deleting news links seems to be a broad abuse of power and fairly overbearing.

That said, I do think there's a case to ensure that user data can be "forgotten" after a user deletes his/her account with an organization. But that doesn't seem to be what this is about.
