Google's general counsel has signalled the company intends to fight, hard, against broad interpretations of the European Union's right to be forgotten.
Kent Walker, the company's general counsel and senior veep, put his name to a strongly-worded post on Wednesday, US time. Titled "Defending access to lawful information at Europe's highest court", the post argued that forthcoming cases in the European Court of Justice "represent a serious assault on the public's right to access lawful information."
Walker wrote that French courts' request for a European Court of Justice ruling on personal data collection effectively seeks a regime under which "all mentions of criminality or political affiliation should automatically be purged from search results, without any consideration of public interest."

I think you forgot to add elements to your tuple.

Maybe it's not a tuple, but a set. Maybe it was the set of ancestor posts containing intelligence? Or some other set?
The set of every set which does not contain itself as an element. That set would appear to qualify for inclusion in the set, thus making it a set which now includes itself, making it ineligible to appear within the set, which suddenly makes it eligible for delusion within the set , . . . etc turtles all the way down, stack does not overflow because we reset the stack pointer to re-write over the entire previous stack and into the heap, etc

No, just the opposite. They are explicitly saying they don't.

Europeans have a few extra centuries of experience in learning the dangers of allowing dumb people to listen to dangerous speech.
