As per the GDPR, EU citizens have the right to request data processors to delete their personal information, and data processors are required to comply with such requests. Many are not aware of how to submit such a request or even that it's a possibility. In this talk, I'd like to highlight the formal requirements and practical benefits of submitting GDPR right to be forgotten requests, as well as my experiences having submitted hundreds of these requests myself. I've also compiled a "wall of shame" for companies that were the worst offenders.
