Just for context. What happens when you consider this in relation to
robots.txt? A website owner can tell search engines not to index a
site or a specific page that way and have always been able to. There
has even been the questionable practice by archive.org of
retroactively deleting entries for a web site, which is very
problematic when a domain lapses and changes hands.

The difference here is a third party is able to assert some level of
control over content on on such a web site, but the mechanism is not
dissimilar. And of course the policy is now backed by a legal
document.

Thoughts?
