"Mistakes happen. And even though every oops! is a learning experience, we've all wanted to go back in time to erase an embarrassing moment or two. Unfortunately, the internet makes that virtually impossible. Those silly selfies you uploaded on Facebook a few years ago? That passive-aggressive break-up wisecrack you tweeted, then immediately deleted? They're all part of your digital footprint\u2014and it takes a lot more to get rid of them than just clearing your web history.\n\nThat's why California just passed a law, dubbed the digital eraser, requiring web providers to remove certain content if a teen under the age of 18 asks. If there's anything that could jeopardize your future college admissions, job applications, or even just your fashion track record (because no one is immune to bad outfit days!), teens now have the ability to remove it from the internet.\n\nJust like any law, however, there are loopholes and limitations. If someone else snaps a photo of you, or if any of your content is republished on another site (retweets and regrams included) it's not covered. In short, this law doesn't mean it's OK to post inappropriate stuff online. If it'd make your grandmother blush, leave it offline.\n\nWhat do you think of this new law? Should teens have the ability to control their public profile, or should we all be required to live with\u2014and learn from\u2014 our mistakes? Tell us in the comments below!"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
