I mean they have this system in Europe because it's legally mandated so they just can't be bothered to pay for the employees to run it in the US.

But removal doesn't apply for newspaper websites even in Europe.

If Mr Irvine had tried to get the daily mail to remove an incorrect story he would have had as hard or harder time and all he would have got would be a 3 line retraction on page 35 in tiny print.

That's because you can't unring a bell.

A website can be revised.
