Pete Buttigieg says Americans should have the right to hide personal details from the internet
On an upcoming episode of Recode Decode, he told Kara Swisher that its time for a national debate about the so-called right to be forgotten.

If you live in the European Union, you can ask platforms such as Google to remove certain search results about you or a close associate. If you live in the United States, you cannot. 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg wants to change that.
On an upcoming episode of our podcast Recode Decode, which will be released on Monday, July 15, Buttigieg told Recodes Kara Swisher that he supports a national right to be forgotten from the internet.
Some of these things are fierce technical, as well as legal, as well as constitutional problems, Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said. But at the end of the day, we need to have some level of relationship to the value that is created in our name.
Well have to decide the difference between a piece of data that I hand to a company to use and make money off of, and something that is published, he said, adding, As we figure out how these rights are going to work, we need a national framework to do it, and we need a national debate about it.

If you don't want it on the internet, don't put it on the internet.
Worked just fine for thousands of years.
