You don't have a right to dictate what other people can remember about you.

Is that what I am doing? Telling you, you can’t remember me? Or am I just asking that an Internet forum I’ve contributed to for years comply with basic standards around data privacy and protection for its users?
You are welcome to use your organic brain that God gave you to remember me. I even think it’s a bit cute and kind to do that.
You are not welcome however, to compile data on me and refuse to comply with data protection laws.
Equating the two is uhh… well intellectually dishonest at best but I suppose you’re still waiting on that lottery ticket to hit and so are a bit afraid to tell the VCs this isn’t okay anymore.
We have a right to have our data deleted. Pure and simple.

Yes, effectively, by trying to remove information from a data store.
> You are not welcome however, to compile data on me
Yes, I am, and you aren't allowed to stop me.
