Basically what it says in the title. Too many sites make you jump through all these hoops to have your account deleted, and sometimes even then don’t do it.

I know about justdeleteme, but unfortunately that doesn’t cover a lot of things. Threatening legal action with my state’s attorney general—in one case, anyway—didn’t work. Maybe the EU will pass some legislation that will carry over to the US . . .

Anyway, don’t mind me, just griping.

EDIT: Sort of like the “unsubscribe” button you get at the bottom of some emails. Did they have to pass a law to get that enacted?

      That’s why, when I have to email someplace to request account deletion, I write “Please delete my account and all the information associated with it.” Probably doesn’t make a difference, but worth a shot I guess.
