Ask HN: Can we admit the right to be forgotten in HN?

16 points by nevergetenglish ↗ HN
The right to be forgotten is well established in Europe. To introduce this right in HN could be made simply by changing the name of the poster to a random one. This is related to my other question in HN about how to delete my account.

The day that right be implemented I will cut my red beard.
Why not just create a new username?
OP is talking about changing the name associated with your old comments and posts.
The right to be forgotten sounds silly. Should be called, the right to pretend that I didn't post/say what I really did.
