Comment:
Fixed an issue where biographical info (description) was not erased during
the Erase Personal Data process in WordPress 6.8.3.
Changes made:
- Added `delete_user_meta( $user_id, 'description' )` to `wp-
admin/includes/user.php` to ensure biographical information is deleted
during data erasure.
- Added a filter to `wp-includes/default-filters.php` to ensure the new
erasure function is applied.
