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

There are numerous problems with your reliance on defamation.
1) It fails to work at all. For example, after exoneration as demonstrated by a litany of falsehoods and invention, even a third person allowing the exonerated person to speak about the situation gets lynched: http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2018/09/22/nyrb-s22.html [wsws.org]
2) Media is savvy enough to know it should present a story as "X person said Y" or "police charged X with Y" -- which are true statements as far as they go and at the same time, they fully accomplish the lynching.
3) Tracking down and suing each individual in a twitter/facebook mob who made defamatory statements is financially and perhaps technically infeasible and worse, a large number of those will be judgment proof.
