It took you two years and a lawyer to literally fill out a form?

If anything, the IA removes too much content and should only do the minimum required by law (and fight it even there where possible).

What form? There is no form.

I just sent emails into the void per their request for more than a year: https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-request-to-remove-som...

After nothing worked I had to draft an official legal letter, which also took several months to get acted on.
