+                    Erasure means that any users (or servers) which join the
+                    room after the erasure request are served redacted copies of
+                    the events sent by this account. Users which had visibility
+                    on those events prior to the erasure are still able to see
+                    unredacted copies. No redactions are sent and the erasure
+                    request is not shared over federation, so other servers
+                    might still serve unredacted copies.
+
+                    The server should additionally erase any non-event data
+                    associated with the user, such as [account data](/client-server-api/#client-config)
+                    and [contact 3PIDs](/client-server-api/#adding-account-administrative-contact-information).
