Topsy appears to offer a data deletion service at accountremoval@topsy.com. Try asking them to delete their online archive of a defunct G+ account. (Defunct means that the G+ account and its content is deleted.) The service autoresponds to your email entreaty, but nothing is deleted. I have been emailing them for two weeks. The reply is the same:

  Re: Please delete my G+ content. I have deleted my G+ account

Topsy is fking evil. They have been gaming SERPs for quite a while now. I would lump them in the same category as Pipl, Spokeo etc.
