Companies have records retention policies, why shouldn't Gov't set those for citizens to invoke de-listing on request?
I do think the info should still be available for the appropriate people the access. We've always had sealed records and there have always been people who can be contacted in person should the need arise. The problem I see with the current free-for-all is people aren't given the tools for neutral fact checking.
I could use Kavenaugh as an example. He didn't grow up on the internet yet information is still there. School year books, very popular before the internet age, did capture people's activities and reputations from the peer perspective (at least at my high school where I worked on it.) From those reputations you can see how people have progressed. He had a letter from the American Bar Association with ethical concerns 12 years ago and another released in the last week. Most of this information was not on the internet.
I'm not sure how free speech plays into delisting. Is it a fear that people will be able to say things without consequence? How is that different than the people who tell victims of online bullying to just get off the internet?

"Therrien has said Canada's outdated privacy laws don't account for the fact that, today, decisions about employment, housing or credit are made based on social media and other online material that may be inaccurate or out of date, and that the situation disproportionately harms young Canadians."
ReplyDeleteIsn't it the responsibility of people using information to make important decisions to make sure the information they obtained is accurate? They should make sure the information is obtained is from a reliable source and/or can be verified by a different independent source.
Yes, but do they? I know I've never used social media to get reduce applicants but I have heard of others who routinely google potential co-workers and advocate. Unless that becomes illegal (good luck) people must be able to respond to social attacks.
