If the individual lives in Europe, you don't have that option. If they want the data deleted, comply or be fined a fairly significant amount - the greater of E10,000,000 or 10% of gross worldwide revenue.
After 1 January 2020, if your user lives in California, and assuming that Google,FaceBook, and the like haven't bribed the state legislature into abolishing it, you won't have that option. However, statutory damages are only US$7,500 per occurrence.

And the fine for unsubscribing a member who won't stop erasing his/her messages (after all of his/her messages are deleted, of course) is $0.00
