In other words, can any user delete its data on its will and is there something that will remove its data from all the connected activitypub services? I believe this should actually be a basic feature and pretty much a requirement.

Except what has been federated. There is no guarantee any server honors that request.

    You mean publicly made comments? If if all servers honoured the delete request, there’s no guarantee that the comments are not saved somewhere else.

    Data like IP, email etc. is deleted.
