I'm rather curious to see how the EU's privacy laws are going to handle this.

Yeah, there's no point in the model where you can pinpoint that data. It's like asking a brain surgeon to slice your brain to make you forget something. Sure, he could do it, but don't be surprised if you can't speak or remember your wife when you wake up...

The only option is to relearn from the new filtered training data, or filter it on the way out, which is likely easier said than done because it has no real context of what it's doing.
