No. But I can ask you to remove my name and personal information from it.

That's precisely the problem and is a clear example of how Europeans value privacy differently.

Personally, I think it is a fundamentally important right that I be able to post a blog about how "the_mitsuhiko wronged me" in some way and have that information publicly accessible. European courts think you should be able to suppress such information—even if it is true.

That's.. that's not at all true. If it's a news story, then the GDPR isn't applicable.
