If you read the linked post you will find out this section:

If you don't want this to happen, you can request removal of specific items through the Internet Archive's procedure: https://help.archive.org/hc/en-us/articles/360018138951-How-...

I don't understand part of the guide that says:

> To have your item pages removed, please email [email protected] from the email address used to upload the files.

What does "...from the email address used to upload the files" mean?

If my posts in Google+ are "archived", >>I<< do not have an email address which was used to upload the Google+ contents... . What am I misunderstanding/overlooking ? Thx

Presumably there is a gmail account that is associated with the post on Google+?

In this case, the email association is with an Internet Archive account for organisations and individuals who are directly contributing to the Archive.

There is also a DMCA request process, which I've posted to this thread.

and that, like Wikipedia's convoluted editing qualifications, calls into question whether the apparatus is capable of housing great bias on a multitude of topics.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

They're removing, presumably just your data (you can't just ask them to delete it all I'm guessing) at your request.
