Right to be forgotten: The failure is in us, not Google

This editorial on the right to be forgotten has a very telling flaw hidden in it:
"Freedom of speech implicitly includes the freedom to be heard, and that's what we could be putting at risk here."
What he is saying that people are *owed* a platform for exercising their free speech.
And then he closes with *his* view of people:
"We need to see our fellow humans as we see ourselves — not as a collection of search results but as confused, inconsistent and changeable human beings."
Obviously he's not talking about Objectivists, here...
