Not sure why this is getting downvoted. This is exactly what GDPR was made for. Good thing I have only like 2 answers on SO, lol.

GDPR allows you to get your personal identifiable information removed, not content.

And GDPR is an eu thing not a usa thing.

It's annoying that people treat GDPR like a magic word that lets them do whatever they want. It only covers personal data -- as in, your name, address, phone number, email, any other identifiable information, etc.
