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?
As far as I’ve seen, on 99% of websites that I use, there’s a Delete account button. And I believe that’s because of GDPR.
It doesnt delete an account, it makes account invisible. To wipe data people can try to send gdpr request to DPO, by my experience most of the Big companies doesnt satisfy such requests based on broad meaning of “legitimate interest” “fraud prevention” “implement security measures” “protect others users”
I already have like 6 complaint to DPA for companies refusing to delete data
