    People’s right to be forgotten effectively amounts to a right to make the internet remove content of your copyrightable data.

    And I was asking how that violated copyright, because the article above is about how the EU courts decided copyright is more important that privacy rights so there’s no right to internet anonymity.

      Facts are not under copyright, only creative expression are. So, for example your randomly assigned phone number does not have copyright protection.
