Yes. People can coerce you into taking down their PII, including photos, in Europe. (Assuming they know of it's existence on your social media account, never gave you permission to use it, and object to it being made available.)
But I know some people who believe that a workaround involves both you and the information being physically in the US, and the information not actually being displayed anywhere in Europe. I don't know if such a case has actually been litigated, but I'd wager you'd be OK in that scenario.

- renewiltord 6y agoThe full nuance of the law can only be gleaned from the law itself. Any shorter comment on the Internet is guaranteed to leave out one of the meanings. So, yes, I think you're right but that's always going to be the case.
- grandmczeb 6y agoFair, but IMO there’s not even a hint of nuance in the original comment. Even a “It’s complicated but...” would be better.
- renewiltord 6y agoFair, fair.

- nelaboras 6y agoIt's more nuanced. If it's in a public place and not invasive (eg taken through a street window) you have little case to get anything taken down. So no stranger appearing in your Disneyland pictures can force you to delete them.
- btilly 6y agoIt is more complicated than that. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Street_View_privacy_concerns https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Street_View_privacy_con... for issues that arose in practice from pictures taken in public by Google.

- lgl 6y ago"Coerce" has a negative and unlawful connotation/definition. There is legislation for this so it's basically a lawful request for removal.
