Under 18s should get the right to remove themselves from the internet
Teenagers might be llowed to rid the internet of images and content shared during their formative years if a privacy group and its advice gets picked up and embraced in the right quarters.
A group called iRights has proposed that 18-year-olds be given the right to edit their online history and remove things that they no longer like.
The group is an advocate for the young and a supporter of their role and rights on the internet, and its efforts here are aimed in that direction. "Every child and young person should have the right to easily edit or delete all content they have created," is the headline, and the suggestion is that the adventures of youth may complicate the passage into adulthood.
