I don't know if this applies to USA. Right to be forgotten seems to be a good idea as is the Right to Privacy.

It's all good and well to air your feelings and ideas when you are eighteen or twenty one and then ten years later when you are considered for an important job your early writings come back to haunt you.
Remember that anything you write on the internet does not disappear. Facebook and twitter are bad ideas (and time wasters).

The right to be forgotten is a concept discussed and put into practice in the European Union (EU) and Argentina since 2006. The issue has arisen from desires of individuals to "determine the development of their life in an autonomous way, without being perpetually or periodically stigmatized as a consequence of a specific action performed in the past.":231
There has been controversy about the practicality of establishing a right to be forgotten to the status of an international human right in respect to access to information, due in part to the vagueness of current rulings attempting to implement such a right. There are concerns about its impact on the right to freedom of expression, its interaction with the right to privacy, and whether creating a right to be forgotten would decrease the quality of the Internet through censorship and a rewriting of history, and opposing concerns about problems such as revenge porn sites appearing in search engine listings for a person's name, or references to petty crimes committed many years ago indefinitely remaining an unduly prominent part of a person's Internet footprint.
