I’m rather curious to see how the EU’s privacy laws are going to handle this.

    So the REAL issue is how much it costs to remove the info vs how much value the info has? Such as the average Joe’s social security number vs a movie star’s social security number vs the president’s social security number.

      I might change ‘value the info has’ to ‘liability it creates’, but I think you’re right about the cost/benefit situation. Since our laws have not kept up with technology, there are a lot of unanswered questions making it hard to analyze.
