What happens when biotech enables effectively (or in practice, externally undetectable) seamless integration of artificial storage into the brain? When millions have perfect photographic memory, are they not allowed to recall the memorized account of personally acquired sensory experiences? If so, can the handful of individuals who can do so today, with no such technological enhancement, be sued for perfectly 'remembering' extensive details of someone's past public statements/actions since scrubbed from the internet? Does Alice's right to be forgotten override Bob's right to remember what she did / said?

I would[2] put good money on "will never happen"[1].

[1] Or at least "any chance of it happening are on a timescale long enough that human civilisation will ruin itself well before we get there".

[2] But for the fact this is a long term bet and I am already old.
