It’s probably MUCH harder than do a GDPR (or equivalent) take out request then deletion request

I cry my American freedom tears. Free to have no privacy laws to protect me or give me any legal recourse.

Freedom to be exploited or exploit others even harder for "success".

Sarcasm aside there are state equivalents, e.g. CCPA.
