IMO, ability to delete isn’t a good argument. Deletion can’t be guaranteed once public since anyone on the network may keep a copy. Farcaster allows hubs to remove deleted data, but it is an optimization not a guarantee.

It is not specific to web3; it is the nature of information. Web2 giants can respect your will to delete something only because your information is inside silos controlled by these giants (also because of laws such as GDPR). When information is free, it is always harder to take back (e.g. in Usenet or the original web)

I’ve always been curious about this. Isn’t a big part of sovereignty and control the ability to remove something? Feels like blockchain/web3 skipped that part. Curious what your take is?
