Here's a sample letter for European citizens that would like to make a legally-binding data subject deletion request:

https://www.datarequests.org/blog/sample-letter-gdpr-erasure...

Send this letter by email and my registered snail mail letter to the Data Protection Officer of the company (e.g. Facebook's Dublin Office).

Violating such a request can lead to fines of 4% of annual revenue of any offending company.

Nit: EU residents, not EU citizens.

The reach of the law is concerned with where you are, not what your citizenship is.

If a company violates 25 requests, does it lose all revenue?
