It's interesting how the right to be forgotten seems so desirable, yet when something like this happens it's great that no one can cover up their tracks. Now the pro-Russian separists are trying to delete all sorts of info. We have this tweet about them getting a bunch of anti-aircraft missiles ( http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:NF6E5FC... ), showing off their new toys ( https://twitter.com/grassw…

What does "right-to-forget" have anything to do with the separatist pulling info from (supposedly) his own website? I don't see Google or any other search engine involved in this situation at all. Stop conflating things - that someone can post content and remove it of their own volition while Wayback Machine captures it is not germane to the discussion of whether it's ok to be forgotten.

It's easy to cover your tracks, don't post shoot down videos on Facebook, or supply and weapon inventories. I don't know how this could even be considered 'tracks', it's strategic information that should never have been posted in the first place.
