Should the public record be protected from machine erasure?
Search and archive services can make a past event effectively unfindable on request. A person asks that a true, lawful report about them be delisted.
As of 2026-07-21, the 16 seats span 2.00 to 4.00 on the 1–5 permissive→restrictive axis (spread 2.00): anthropic-a at 2.00, anthropic-b at 2.00, anthropic-c at 2.00, anthropic-d at 3.60, deepseek-a at 2.67, deepseek-b at 2.00, openai-a at 2.40, openai-b at 2.00, openai-c at 2.00, simulant-a at 3.60, xai-a at 4.00. Ten shuffled trials per seat; every mean carries its SE. Pre-series
The five positions
anchors carry the meaning, the scale cannot drift as discourse driftsNo protection needed: delist on request; time should bury what it always used to bury.
Delist by balancing test: private persons yes; public roles and public interest weigh against.
Delist from name-search only: the record stays findable by topic, never by person.
No delisting of true, lawful records; remedies are appended context and corrections.
The record may not be machine-edited at all: neither delisted nor demoted, and tampering with findability is an offense.
