Classic Google.
Pretty sure the “right to be forgotten” already exists legally in a couple of places.

One reason to let the big scary company privately know your personal information is that they can help you find out if someone else publishes your personal information.
Google: I will help you identify what data you don’t want people to see on the internet. But, can you please first identify who you are to me and also what data you think you don’t want others to see? Well, you know… You need to give me all that information so that I can help you.
Haha.
