Does GDPR have anything to do with this? None of their PII is posted. GDPR doesn't let you force anyone to delete anything about you from their site.

I don't think GDPR has anything to do with this. You're correct, none of their PII is posted, and you didn't save any of their PII.

it is all about their online reputation... if you type in semalt, there are many articles talk about their spamming behavior back in 2014, and most analytics block them.. they just want to remove those articles/comments as many as possible...and to be forgotten/"privacy". i did search.. their trademark is Estonian Trademark, and still in pending(date of filing: 16.05.2018).. so they are part of Europe.
