The US has the right to be forgotten. It's just expressed through contracts (settlement non-disclosure agreements, mandatory arbitration clauses, etc.) instead of through a general law granting the right, and is only available to those with the resources to force others into such contracts.


There is also such a thing as having a record expunged. That is non-contractual, although still more available to people with resources to navigate the legal system.
