The government has enormous trouble getting rid of CSAM. The FBI had databases of content that is decades old - basically images recognised as "classics" that are still shared amongst the consumers of such things.

It is illegal to possess, but despite the most aggressive enforcement on the planet it is still out there.

In case of CSAM, the trouble is in how to identify who have a copy of it.

In case of personal data in this article, they have already identify which legal entity have it.

> One artist even found that her private medical records containing photos of her facial condition were in LAION, a foundational dataset for many GenAI products.

From the article I'm extremely skeptical people have actually identified anything, since LAION does not store content. LAION is a list of links to content hosted by others, publicly.
