The complaints have to be valid now. I remember the days when hysterical accusations of domestic terrorism and bombarding companies with demands they stop providing services sufficed.
Where do these people keep getting these profoundly moronic ideas? They keep passing out advice like this with an air of confidence that I just absolutely cannot fathom. It's like they have their own Idea Guys (TM) but with this kind of shit instead of the Dimensional Merge:

Firstly, and most obviously, Kiwifarms is not an EU website, so that's a non-starter right off the bat.
The
GDPR doesn't apply to Kiwifarms anyway, since The Farms are neither a
Data Controller nor Data Processor, so contacting any
EU Data Protection Agency, as Johnny the Greek is suggesting, would be an exercise in futility equal to everything he's done to look like a woman.
These regulations are meant to protect potentially sensitive personal information stored by institutions, governments, employers, businesses and such. To take an example from the very page Johnny linked to:
You enjoy running. You have bought a watch which calculates your heart rate and speed per kilometre, tracks your route and gathers other relevant data. You upload all your data on the website. You realise that your data has been mixed up with someone else’s. You can file a complaint before your DPA against the website.
Not a single goddamn thing about the EU's GDPR applies--in any way, shape or form--to Kiwifarms, a messageboard where people collate and archive information freely given away by idiots on public forums or is otherwise publicly available. I can't even begin to wrap my head around how they get the idea that they can just have the EU somehow remove embarrassing shit they put online them damn selves.
My best guess is that they heard about the
Right to Erasure / Right to be Forgotten and just figured that they have the right to have the EU remove any unwanted information from the Internet because... I don't know, because Sweden or whatever the fuck.
