New (California) law lets teens delete digital skeletons

5. 2015? Why not NOW?

A lot of kids who are posting things they will eventually regret will be aged-out of this when it goes into effect.

I think everyone should have the ability to scrub their posts, etc. WTF? Everyone seems to be giving away their privacy via Facebook. Having worked in marketing, I know how valuable this info is to marketers -- to be able to construct a psychographic image of consumers is something I dreamed of in my youth, but then rethought as a massive invasion of privacy literally as scary as "Minority Report."

Corporations and political parties can now send messages targeted precisely to individuals and their hopes and fears, regardless of the veracity of their claims.

The goal is a borg mentality, all coaxed in for different reasons, yet all thinking/buying/voting based on BS.
