Arbitrary censorship on demand is a victory for privacy. At great cost.

This has nothing to do with censorship and everything to do with privacy.

You don't have any "right" to other people's personal information -- much less for an eternity.

This is not about preventing journalists from disclosing scandals, corrupt politicians, corporations and the like.

It's about normal people (all 7 billion of them) not having to live with their spring break crazy-time pictures, their extra-marital affair or that stupid stuff they said when they were 16 and listened to death metal online well into their sixties.

Are things like removing results from search engines really the right solution to the problem?

This has nothing to do with privacy either. The information is still there, just that google isn't supposed to include the information in a search result.
