Abstract

The United States and Europe diverge over bureaucratic processes to protect personal privacy and human dignity. Americans are entitled to entertain their own debate over when the right to be forgotten is forfeit. But Americans should adopt the right to be forgotten, because the concept of erasure online is as American as a second chance in a new world.

Keywords: right to be forgotten, erasure, identity, United States, Europe, EU, privacy, human rights
