As good intentioned as it is, I don't like the wording used around this law. "Request" and "Ask" and "please delete my information." Notice that regular users have to "ask nicely" but when it's something like the DMCA, which benefits corporations, they use "takedown notices" and "demand letters."

I don't want to ask data brokers, pretty please with sugar on top. I want to be able to demand they do it, and require them to immediately do it and provide proof that they did, under penalty of perjury.

I always liked the archaic form, "You are hereby requested and required to [insert naval orders here]." It's asking very politely, for now, but also making it clear that declining will result in jail or worse.

I don't know if it's apocryphal, but it shows up in the Hornblower novels and at least one episode of Star Trek.

I’m not a US lawyer, but the word ”request” seems like it has a solid legal basis and can be used to compel action.

You’re free to label it as a demand, but unless you run a courtroom and swear them in, any failure to do so will not be perjury.

Well, I don't think any of these things are legally required, so call it whatever you want.
