No one has a right to have their mistakes hidden, though certainly we could talk about whether a merciful & forgiving society should forget because it's the right thing to do.

Actually it’s my understanding that kids have their records cleared once they hit 18 in the US. I don’t know the full specifics of that or whether it applies in only certain states/locals. But I think there is logic to it that also suggests allowing people a rewrite.

If you take “right to be forgotten” literally it’s actually quite dystopian: the only way to enforce it is to erase peoples’ memories.
