Right to be forgotten examples
An example of something that should really be forgotten or moved on from is perhaps if somebody says a short phrase and the fact they have said it is recorded, and now later on somebody else has an issue with that person, they can use the fact they said the phrase to paint the person in a bad light and make people hate them. This is perhaps a bad thing because the person may even regret saying the phrase and changed their mind since that point.
