Bravo to the Guardian for instigating the Streisand effect in this instance.
By way of example, I knew nothing of the Dougie McDonald scandal until this article, which not only brought the scandal to my attention, but also suggests someone (presumably McDonald himself) doesn't want people to find out about the scandal.
The question is, how long will this effect last? These are the first cases, where the right to be forgotten is used against news sites and the outrage is of course big. But what about in a few months, a year? I doubt that every case will end up on the front of hn and similar.
