>I write a thing and let you read it.

By the why the physical universe you live in works the moment you let someone see an informational project (text for example) you no longer have a monopoly on that information. You can never remove access of that data from my mind, and with digital information under a end to end encrypted channel (and assuming you're not watching it with an OCR application from a monitor) you can't remove access to any other allowed person.

You have an extreme position, yes. It is extreme in the sense your idea only works in highly controlled situations or where everybody agrees to play nice. These rules do not work on the internet and there is no means or way of enforcing it.

Once you let photons go, you no longer have a permanent and fundamental right to recall it.

I think this has gotten wildly off track. It started with whether it's a feature that you can delete a discord message, there's a lot of steps from that point to wiping information from your mind.
