I think it is now time for society to regulate Facebook, Google, and whatever other company out there, that seeks to collect information on people. Facebook and Google, are now collecting and tracking users across the Internet, just so that they can make a few extra dollars per person, but on aggregate, they will make billions. They have essentially removed the right for us to browse the Internet anonymously. This is what the libraries tried to protect for so long: your privacy on what books you check out. But now, with the Internet, there is no anonymous browsing anymore. It's all recorded. It is already terrible enough that the government is doing it. But at least we know that the government is doing it. But for a commercial enterprise to do it, without proper regard for consumer information, privacy, and protection. Then, this is a step too far. In fact, we don't even know what these private companies are doing. And the people that they employ don't have any special training, or any security clearances to handle such private information. When Facebook goes bankrupt, like Yahoo did, then what is the first thing that they will do? They will immediately sell off all that valuable data that they have collected on the population for nearly 20 years. What they have taken from us, is the right to be forgotten. The right to control the privacy of our lives, after we die. Sure, some people may not mind having all of their private digital history published, for all the world to see. But for some other people, we want to maintain that privacy, and take it to our grave.
