Lol. No, they can’t. They can request that their data be deleted in one request. They can’t actually go delete the data from all the servers and backups from all those websites and companies. They can’t verify that anyone else has done that. They can’t verify that even if they theoretically have it doesn’t work like the systems where things are just flagged as redacted or edited out.
For the statement they make to be true this would a thing with an overseeing body with enough power to ensure that all companies and websites store their data in the same way or with perfect knowledge and access to that data and all backups and the ability to fully wipe any data or backup data tied to a given name, email address, social security number, and whatever selection of browser and device fingerprints the user could supply and ensure that data was unrecoverable.
I can make something way better than this. Since any folk requesting that are concerned with places keeping their data, they wouldn’t even have to give their name let alone any other personal information. It would just be a very pleasing and official looking button, and when they click it there would be a reassuring popup informing them that:
“Success! Your request for every other person, company, website, UFO, talking animal, or fantasy creature who may be spying on you in this entire universe and any potential alternate universe to immediately stop doing that and delete any information they may have collected has been sent!”
It would be pretty much just as effective and universally (multiversally?) legally relevant as this is.
You replied before my edit. I really want to make that website now.
I wonder if I should add a little footnote warning that due to relativity in this universe and the potential for variations in the speed and direction of the flow of time in any other than may exist some recipients may not receive the request before the relatively brief lifetime of humanity as a whole has ended.

tl;dr: Lol
Or as we summarize in security, “how do you know?”
