Almost universally our teenagers have an online social media presence. But online youthful development never fades. Youthful exuberence, indiscretions, gossip lives on forever.

How can teenagers be teenagers online without potentially ruining their future chances of work and success?

California has enacted a bill SB-568 which starts to give redress and balance for teenagers. It’s their version of “the right to be forgotten” concept. In California they’ve given some limited rights for people under 18 to delete presonal information that they as registered users posted online or via mobile apps.

The Europena Union is considering applying this “right to be forgotten”.

Do you think people should be able to edit their online presence?
