Advocacy group Consumer Watchdog is asking the Federal Trade Commission to require Google to grant U.S. citizens the same “right to be forgotten” that exists in Europe. “Before the Internet if someone did something foolish when they were young -- and most of us probably did -- there might well be a public record of what happened," Consumer Watchdog says in a letter to the FTC. The group wants the FTC to say that Americans have the right to ask Google to remove “irrelevant” search results.
