“Forgetting used to be the default, and that also meant you could edit your memories,” says Kate Eichhorn, who researches culture and media at the New School in New York City and wrote the book The End of Forgetting. “Editing memories” in this context refers to a psychological process, not a Photoshop tool. The human brain is constantly editing memories to incorporate new information and, in some cases, to cope with trauma.
Possibly worth reading for some of my research?

digital memory systems radically augment the scope and dura- tion of personal ritemory far beyond the lifespan of the person in question
Yeah, if the memory is maintained. I can't even keep my iTunes library from disintegrating. If your hard drive crashes, you lose it all, unless it's backed up, in which case you're creating copies that too will differ and degrade.

Forgetting allows such monstrous crimes to exist in the absence of moral response and thereby compounds their destruction
This passage evoked Lyotard's The Differend.

Forgetting is psychologically unhealthy: it leads to repression,
This seems like kind of a big slippage (between forgetting & repression), imho.
