I can clarify. The right to erasure (non-legal term: the right to be forgotten) falls under GDPR. All EU citizens and residents are protected under this law.

The rights of individuals under GDPR are: right to be informed, right of access, right to rectification, right to erasure (to be forgotten), right to restrict processing, right to data portability, right to object and rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling.

so I handle GDPR deletion requests for my company. We do not delete your data. We do anonymize the data so it can no longer be tied to you. So we remove all your personal data. So we know someone signed up, posted, etc. We just don't know who.
