A society that does not make arrest information public is one where it is very easy for someone to "disappear." That's the whole point.

If the government is trying to disappear people, then having in place the mechanisms for a right to be forgotten seems like it would only help them disappear people more thoroughly.

That is the case in a lot of places for arrests, but wrong convictions are a thing too and those get reported. Plus, there are situations where someone posted a presumably funny picture of someone else, which you should absolutely have the right to not be found. It has an impact on your life for no good reason.
Rather than gaslighting the world, shouldn't you just prevent the problem? That is, just ban posting that sort of information before a conviction.
