John Doe says company has personal information on him and doesn't want to delete it. Shows email exchange with the company and company is stating they don't have his personal data, so there is nothing to delete. How do they judge the case has a merit? Let's say a group forms on xchan type of site and flood company and "clearing house" with such claims.

Unless Doe can provide any actual reason for believing they have his data, and as long as the data handling process of the company is sound, the regulator will just close the issue. At least that's my experience.

Remember that the Data Protection Directive, which already allows citizens to ask companies if they have data on them and to correct incorrect data, has been around from 1995, yet there hasn't been any mobs ruining companies.

John Doe could say he had an account with company website. He can't log in because he has got shadow blocked. There would be dozens of such claims .

What reason could anyone provide? (even that a company like fb still has your data) Or that a company sold it illegally? Or that random targeted ads you are seeing are the result of data from any particular company?
