Do Americans have the same right as Europeans to be "forgotten" by Google?

The answer is an unequivocal "Yes."

From Sophos Naked Security:

Do Americans have the same right as Europeans to be "forgotten" by Google?

Europeans have the right to request the removal of links in search engine results - what is now commonly referred to as the "right to be forgotten," thanks to a May 2014 court ruling.

Should Americans also have the right to be forgotten?

According to Consumer Watchdog, a nonprofit advocacy organization, the answer is "yes" - and the group wants the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to do something about it.
