body: As it commonly known, the [right to be forgotten](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten) is a fundamental right in the modern informational society. It is the right of an individual to obtain erasure of his personal data from the online and offline directories immediately upon request without undue delay.
  
  
  The perfect example of implementation of this fundamental rule is [European GDPR rules](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation) which clearly state principles and obligations in [Article 17](https://gdpr-info.eu/art-17-gdpr/) and recitals 65 and 66. Everybody working in EU and EEA areas is obliged to abide this law and individuals have tools and mechanism to prosecute legal entities that break these regulations.
  
  
  What about US? Is there any similar law within US legal system which I can use effectively to push for observance of my right to forget? I.e. to push websites, web-services and other online/offline entities to delete my personal data.
  
  
  Is there any way to punish them by law if they deny to do that?
