You can send the Internet Archive a DMCA takedown request just like anybody else based in the US. Unlike most platforms, they seem to respond to them without a lawyer's letterhead.

And if one is not based in the US?

  Asking nicely goes a long way, and when it relates personal info I don't see why they wouldn't.

    I don't understand how that helps. Mail them from the same email you used to upload. "This must be the same email that you used to sign up to the Internet Archive". This appears to explain how to delete something I deliberately uploaded to archive.org. G+ archiving is done by an unknown someone else. A G+ user wanting to remove all their data, won't have uploaded to archive.org, or have an account there. Even if they did that account wouldn't be connected with the archiving that's going on.

      The Archive serves several functions, and the Wayback Machine's Web archive are only one of them. The link above addreses general removal requests. There is information specific to the Wayback Machine (WBM) here: https://help.archive.org/hc/en-us/articles/360004716091-Wayback-Machine-General-Information https://help.archive.org/hc/en-us/articles/360004716091-Wayb... Please note that I'm not a member of Archive.org nor the Archive Team, just someone very happy that they exist (as they assure me they are as well), and am providing information as best I can. The mechanisms of the Archive WBM and G+ mean that for your posts you can request removal of all items on or under your 21 digit numeric ProfileID, or, if you have one, a custom G+ URL. All post URLs will match the form "https://plus.google.com/<profileID>/posts/<postID>" https://plus.google.com/<profileID>/posts/<postID>" Some other content, such as images and multimedia will not, though tht's generally harder to find without post and profile links in the first place. If you have suggestions on improving the answers or remove process, please contact the Archive directly at info@archive.org or see their forums pages. I've found them quite responsive. https://archive.org/iathreads/forums.php https://archive.org/iathreads/forums.php

        OK, that sounds more reasonable. The help page made it sound that unable to remove for not being uploaded by oneself - therefore have no archive ID or account to associate with was the most likely response. Mostly I appreciate hugely what archive.org does, though like the root comment, I'm much less keen on ephemeral social networks preserved. Especially as most users will never see an announcement on a specialised reddit sub or HN, so will never know it wasn't all deleted like Google announced. Yes, I know it's not sensible to rely on no copies, but most naive users probably assume that. :)

        I'm definitely of mixed minds on this. The fact that IA's WBM is a public rather than private archive helps their case, IMO. Though I don't necessarily agree in unlimited rights to mass-record all public data, doing so transparently beats private data brokers. Google's own messaging on this has been largely abysmal as well. Don't get me started.

  You misunderstand; Internet Archive is based in the US, so they are legally obligated to comply with DMCA takedown requests filed by anyone. Admittedly, it would be harder to enforce, but IA seems to be doing a good job complying without legal action.
