`SUPPRESS` regulations add a user to your suppression list by the `userId`. Segment blocks suppressed users across all sources; messages you send to Segment with a suppressed `userId` are blocked at the API. These messages do not appear in the debugger, are not saved in archives and systems, and are not sent to any downstream server-side destinations. However, if a destnation is set up in [device-mode](/docs/connections/destinations/#connection-modes), then the events are sent directly to destinations as well and, and Suppression will not suppress events in this case.

When a customer exercises the right to erasure, they expect that you stop collecting data about them. Suppression regulations ensure that regardless of how you're sending data to Segment, if a user opts out, Segment respects their wishes on an ongoing basis and across applications.

It can take a few hour/days for the suppression to become active, depending on the number of requests that are in the queue for your workspace.
