How does event sourcing handle the requirement for data no longer be in the database at all, e.g. if a user asks deleting all his data that ever existed?

One of the best and safest methods in an immutable event store is to store sensitive data as a reference. Some purpose-built event stores offer such capabilities by design.

No. Was your comment AI-written?

(I'm asking because it's super annoying that some pseudo-smart people come up with an oh-so-clever approach of "look ma, I have detected AI slop" over and over again, when all they actually do is piss people off who write by hand.)
