  > Under the provisions of this article, administrative punishment would be
  > imposed on a Web site operator that has refused an individual's request
  > to have certain information about him or her deleted from the Web site.
  >
  > Should operators of bulletin board systems and search engines be flooded
  > with such information deletion requests in accordance with the law, it
  > would become extremely difficult for them to maintain their sites. Not
  > only that, scandals involving politicians and companies or any other
  > adverse information may disappear from the WWW and the freedom of
  > expression in the world of the Internet may be impaired.
