The selection on what information to maintain and what to not, it’s a question of “cultural genetics”. As techno-society, we think it’s our duty to keep them all but we have a problem, we are already experiencing: the information overload. The availability of all information at once inhibits the forming of Culture, i.e. the shared knowledge and values which forge the social identity. Having access to all information at any time, combining this capability with algorithms stimulating filter bubbles and generating echo-chambers, disintegrates the collective memory and hereby the social bonding. We may lead to the “1 man 1 society” model.
I’m not saying that the question of information protection is not important. I’m just trying to look at the other face of the coin.
I apologize if my comments it’s out of topic.
