    How tf does protection of anonymity violate copyrights? Doesn’t it, if anything, enhance copyrightability since it gives users better control over their own copyrightable information?

      How did you come to the interpretation that protection of anonymity were violating copyright?

      How do you mean anonymity could give better control over copyrightable information?

        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.
