DALLAS, Texas (1080 KRLD) The Banh Shop in Dallas has officially changed its restaurant logo, after coming under fire two weeks ago fora logo that many said looked like the red star of Communism.

A petition from the Vietnamese community led Yum Brands (also ownsKFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell), the sandwich shops parent company, to apologize and remove the logo.

A Yum spokesperson released this statement today from the corporate office:

After listening and responding to our customers, we have changed the logo for the Banh Shop restaurant in Dallas. While unintentional, we certainly see how use of a red star was offensive to some and weve eliminated it from the design and apologize to anyone who may have been offended. The new design, created with input from Mr. Thanh Cung, President of the Vietnamese-American Community of Greater Dallas, incorporates an accent over the letter a and is simple and clean, using a black and white contemporary design. This new logo will be used on all signage, menu, uniforms and other marketing material including our website. We greatly appreciate the feedback from the community, and look forward to serving our customers delicious banh mi sandwiches.

Thanh Cung, President of the Vietnamese-American Community of Greater Dallas, who is also a former prisoner of war, told CBSDFW.com the logo resembled the red star often used as a symbol of communism.

After the company agreed to change the logoCung said, Im very, very happy not for myself but for the Vietnamese community.

From an American legal perspective the recently established European Right to Be Forgotten (RTBF) is a disaster. Its a confusing, vague, impractical and possibly even dangerous decision. But from a European historical perspective it makes considerable sense.

The different histories of the US and Europe in the 20th Century have shaped different attitudes and rules surrounding privacy. As Jeffrey Toobin points out in his piece on RTBF in The New Yorker, in America speech trumps privacy but in Europe its mostly the opposite.

Theres no question that the internet is laying waste to privacy, from rampant profiling and data mining to NSA spying and perpetual hacking. The iCloud celebrity photo scandal is the latest high profile example of electronic communications threat to privacy; storage of photos or other personal data makes our private lives and personal histories vulnerable to unwanted discovery all the time.

Americans are just as concerned about privacy as anybody else. But the First Amendment is a powerful counterweight to assertions of privacy over access to information. Of course there are legal balancing tests that seek to find a middle way between these opposing values.

Free expression or speech is part of the European tradition and was embodied in its post-war Convention on Human Rights, which has been incorporated by individual countries into domestic law to varying degrees. Whats very different however is the way in which World War II (specifically the Holocaust) and subsequent dictatorial communist regimes have shaped European thinking.

I was in Berlin recently and had a long talk with a German about the history of the East German Secret Police, the Stasi. The Berlin Wall came down in 1989 but many people still remember what life was like in the divided country. The communist governments of Eastern Europe repressed millions through domestic spying, monitoring and persecution in many ways they were successors to the Nazi regime.

In the West GPS and location tracking is used to help smartphone owners to find directions or look up nearby restaurants. In human-rights-denying regimes like Chinas smartphones can be used to monitor and track anti-government dissidents.

This is the double edge of technology. And the Europeans are perhaps more mindful than Americans of the dark side in seeking to safeguard individual privacy rights.

The New Yorkers Toobin quotes Viktor Mayer-Schnberger, an Austrian born Oxford professor whom he characterizes as one of the intellectual godfathers of the right to be forgotten, about why such a right should exist:
