If your message was a DM to me then I think that would clearly be included, however, I can find no authoritative opinion that personal information includes public facing social media posts or comments. I would be happy to be wrong. Can you find a public statement by a law firm stating that under CCPA you have a legal right to have your comments deleted? I can't.

How do you interpret “messages” as not including posts? I am very clearly replying with a message to you.

Reading the CCPA, I have to agree with you: it’s useless. It specifically excludes public information, and OP clearly made those posts publicly.
