The PM, conveniently, claims he didn't know until last July, then covered it up it til reporters exposed it.https://grapevine.is/news/2017/09/14/pms-father-endorsed-restored-honour-for-convicted-paedophile/ …

I'm super happy for the gov to fall, but your interpretation is badly misinformed. Like really badly 1/

Iceland has legal process where former felons/convicts can apply to have their "slate cleaned" 5 years after they´ve done their sentence 2/

This is often called a pardon, even when the penalty has already been served (see: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/31/uk-issues-posthumous-pardons-thousands-gay-men-alan-turing-law …). "Expungement" wouldn't fit 140.

What you're talking about is different. The Icelandic, er.. thing, does in no way imply he was innocent or take away the fact of the crime.
-
The process is literally called "restoring honor" in every English-language article I've read by an Icelandic newspaper.
-
pardon ˈpɑːd(ə)n/Submit noun 1. the action of forgiving or being forgiven for an error or offence.
-
Pardon is "náðun" in Icelandic and is a specific and different thing to restoration of honour "uppreist æru".

I know that would be the legally accurate definition but in terms of how language is used, it is not incorrect

You know what pedophiles & their enablers don't like? Public attention. This is working out great for them.

We do not abort them, we simply send them off to the wildlands to fend for themselves. Such culling is most humanitarian.

You should stick to tweeting about things you know anything about. You're good at that. This is embarrassing.

Personal exp + years in social work I've seen little accountability for crimes against children...even less accountability for the elite.
