The plaintiff addressed all the main candidates in the current election campaign with a request to delete his details under section 17F of the Privacy Protection Law. Most of them were able to act in accordance with the provisions of the law, and announced the deletion of his details as requested. "He refrained from giving any answer, and others even increased and sent disturbing messages to the applicant's cell phone, even though they received the deletion request."
A letter of defense has not yet been filed.
