"no such right exists" - the law would disagree with you on that one.
"Under Article 17 of the UK GDPR individuals have the right to have personal data erased. This is also known as the 'right to be forgotten'." [1]
"The right to be forgotten appears in Recitals 65 and 66 and in Article 17 of the GDPR. It states, “The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay”" [2]
This obviously varies depending on jurisdictions, but a great number of users (EU citizens, and people resident in the EU - but additionally, the UK) absolutely have a "right to be forgotten," and brazenly claiming "no such right exists" is ignorant and fallacious, and such unfounded arrogance is a distinctly USian trait. For someone who purportedly lives outside the US, you don't seem to grasp that there are laws in other countries than the US.
You'd do well to read https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html -- all that baseless assumption and disingenuous false accusation really isn't in any way civil or useful... but then when you're cheap enough to bring the Holocaust into a discussion about data protection legislation, you're really not in a position on ethics - or indeed anything else.
LMAO, you think claiming to have a Jewish girlfriend means you're incapable of making anti-Semitic remarks... What's next, you can't be racist because you have a Black friend?!
You've done nothing but assume, make absolutely ridiculous stretches in your attempts to bring irrelevant points in to try and bolster your assumptions and baseless claims, and -- as for your "ideological battles" claim in another comment -- the only one bringing "ideology" into a discussion about data protection, is YOU.
Perhaps rather than being a toxic, condescending hypocrite, you could take a moment to step back and look at how hard you're projecting -- if you projected any harder, we'd be able to see you on the moon.
I won't be taking lectures on "elevated thinking" from an anti-Semitic narcissist who knows only baseless assumptions and false accusations, but keep raging on the internet.
