I’m not confident about companies removing data for those outside California.
If someone requests to remove data associated with an email or username, they probably will.
But if the law says you can demand to have any data associated with your real identity removed - that requires verifying your real identity.
Otherwise some troll will demand data be deleted for another person.

- brvsft 3y agoYes, it would be a bad thing to have someone randomly delete your data from a site you depend on or enjoy using.
- Rumudiez 3y agoLike whitepages.com? We’re talking about websites where you don’t have an account and they just republish info from public records and/or data brokers, not Facebook
- Hnrobert42 3y agoNo. Like Equifax when you are applying for a home loan.
- Rumudiez 3y agoRight, because an Equifax data breach has never negatively affected anyone
