Are the ‘right to be forgotten’ laws like burning virtual books?

Originally published by Peter S. Vogel.

While writing my eCommerce Times column last month it occurred to me that history may be changed if the family member of a British Revolutionary War General could force Google to forget what that General did in the 18^th century!  I welcome your thoughts and comments about my August 31, 2015 column entitled “Taken to Extremes, ‘Right to Be Forgotten’ Is Like Burning Virtual Books.”

Should a law like the EU ‘right to be forgotten’ be able to supersede  written history?

What do you think?
