The GDPR "right to be forgotten" is now being used to remove court cases from the internet. Seems the "right to be forgotten" is on a collision course with free speech and open government.

The complaint against Bujaldon is fairly damning, and while Bujaldon tried to get the case dismissed, the court was not at all impressed. The current docket suggests that the parties are attempting to work out a settlement, but having yourself be a defendant accused of real estate and securities fraud can't be good for the old reputation.

Never fear, however, for the GDPR has a Right to be Forgotten in it, and Bujaldon is apparently using it to delete his own name from the dockets for which he is a defendant

      You can't threaten me, I'm the right side of history! I'll make a visual basic GUI to track down your house even if you are hiding behind 7 proxies!

        Naah bro, you need to make a Rust GUI that runs an embedded Ruby on Rails on NodeJS app with a web-scale NOSQL blockchain if you want to track him through seven proxies.
