       | So you call company X and ask to be forgotten. Company X is one
       | of the good ones, so they set their engineers on it (automatic or
       | manual etc.), can you really be sure all traces are deleted? If
       | not yea X can be fined, but does that really (truly) benefit you
       | if the data was still present and leaked? What about company Y
       | that you haven't even heard about that got the data from
       | somewhere else, you wont call them.
       | 
       | What about the complications about GDPR and trading/using
       | products from overseas, seems like everyone is breaking the law,
       | because there are so many laws.
