Not quite the same, but the GDPR gives you a right to erasure.

And afaik it also quite strictly regulates which data you're allowed to collect and process and for which reasons. But on hackernews I feel it is more often than not represented as a symbol of EU bureaucracy, being to blame for cookie banners, and/or designed to extort money from poor helpless trillion dollar US corporations.

Maybe the bureaucracy is there for a reason some times?

Maybe the poor helpless US corporations shouldn't be collecting 153M+ drivers licenses

Hm.
