I don't agree with it myself, but there are people who seem to want to frame "the right to be forgotten" as a privacy issue.

Just one example, but trying to get that revenge porn off the web, can be seen as an attempt to restore ones privacy. Where others should not have the right to continue to peek into ones private life.

		That's not quite the kind of thing I was talking about. I think that is generally already covered by current laws in most places? The right-to-be-forgotten advocates argue that everyone should have the right to demand that any trace of their previous online existence be deleted. On social media of course, but also independent web forums, chat logs, git commits, etc.

Even if it were a privacy issue, it would be impossible to enforce it technologically via FOSS software, because, by definition, the user at the other end could run a forked version with remote deletion disabled.
