The assertion that "CCPA requires companies to delete your data upon request" is not technically correct. What must be deleted is "personal information" and while I empathize with the notion that would include social media posts, I am not sure it actually does include them.

see: https://privacy.ca.gov/protect-your-personal-information/wha...

The closest thing mentioned is: "Contents of messages (e.g., emails, texts, chats)" but does that actually cover posts? I'm not sure and I can't find an authoritative answer that it does.

How do you interpret “messages” as not including posts? I am very clearly replying with a message to you.

If your message was a DM to me then I think that would clearly be included, however, I can find no authoritative opinion that personal information includes public facing social media posts or comments. I would be happy to be wrong. Can you find a public statement by a law firm stating that under CCPA you have a legal right to have your comments deleted? I can't.

Reading the CCPA, I have to agree with you: it’s useless. It specifically excludes public information, and OP clearly made those posts publicly.
