Apologies for the conflation of 'deletion instruction' and 'right to be forgotten' - thanks for pointing that out. I'm under the impression, in the USA, that I wrote the tweet, therefore I'm the copyright holder, and I've only licensed it to Twitter. Further, I'm under the impression that the smart publisher is going to reach out to me to republish my tweet (under license.) If I'm mistaken, please correct me. Given that I created the content and I hold the copyright, I can revoke the license I gave to Twitter. However, Twitter's TOS probably requires a 'non-revocable license' and a law requiring services to offer deletion would presumably remove the ability of these companies to insist on a non-revocable license. Personally, I'd be on the side of 'allow deletion' rather than 'right to be forgotten' but I also feel like cementing the concepts of content ownership ("no, $service, you don't own user-generated content") and licensing ("no $service, you cannot insist on a non-revocable license") would go a long want to enabling either deletion, or rights to be forgotten.
