its Right of Erasure, and specifically Article 7(3), which gives data subjects the right to withdraw consent at any time and the clause “it shall be as easy to withdraw consent as to give it" trumps any ridiculous "irrevocable" license to distribute your content Correct. You can certainly attempt to assert your right of erasure with YC to erase your PII from their data (i.e. Hacker News). But..! Because we give YC the right to distribute our content freely, we simultaneously realize that there may be many duplications and reproductions of this data. The consequence of this is that we must contact any/every user of that data yourself on a one-by-one basis to assert your right of erasure - there is no legal obligation for HN to track everyone who might have downloaded a legal archive of their data.
