I do not live in California or the EU. What can I do?

    The content is fine, but anything associated with them that can be deemed as identifiable needs to go if OP requests the right to be forgotten. Most services will just “censor” the username by replacing it with “deleted” or something. They don’t have to get rid of everything else.

      What if a comment itself includes some kind of personal data such as a link that explicitly ties the comment to a person?

          Originally I didn’t mind tying the comment to my identity, but once I decide to delete my account, I want all such ties gone. Case in point: links to open-source projects with my name in them.

          “You shouldn’t have posted it in the first place” is just victim blaming.

          They will not restore EU comments without having to read those. It would violate GDPR and even a mistake or two will hurt their bottom line so so bad
