Additional information:

The heroine of an article about a neighbourhood conflict appealed to Nasha Gazeta’s WhatsApp account with a demand to delete her personal data — her first and last name — from Galina Katkova’s article «The stumbling door, the wall of discord — The Arkalyk resident was allowed to convert her flat into a shop twice, but there is no shop yet». The editorial staff refused to delete the data, replying that the surname and name are indicated in the decisions of two courts, which are publicly available on the Internet. The Arkalyk resident’s claim was not followed any further.
