I filed a GDPR deletion request with Twitter a couple of weeks ago. It was quite a challenge to find a way to contact Twitter (for anyone who wants to you can do so via: https://secure.ethicspoint.com/domain/en/default_reporter.asp) - but I finally succeded. I did not simply wanted to deactivate my account I want all of my data to be deleted as is my right through the GDPR.
A couple of weeks later I received message saying that my account had been deactivated and that I should not log in as this my halt the deletion. Today (one and half months later) I tried logging into Twitter and found out that my login email is still registered).
I filed a new complained but wanted to know if anybody here has had their data successfully deleted? Twitter makes it deliberately hard to do so and this might be a violation of the GDPR.
Why is their contact point another URL lol
You know it won’t matter, Musk isn’t complying with shit. The flippant way he moved the servers shows he has zero interest in anything but himself.
Godspeed.
There was a story how one guy recorded himself deleting each and every comment he made. The video was like 2-3 hours long. Manually one by one. Only to find that they restored his comments the next day.
How reddit hasn’t been sued by the California attorney general I’ll never know.
This is about Twitter though
What I was implying is that I don’t know how useful the laws are if they aren’t going to be enforced and if the penalty for breaking the law is a slap on the wrist.
For reddit you can use Redact, it can edit the comments for you, they don’t seem to revert those changes.
Report it to your government. I know there are many regulators and politicians in both Europe and many US states who would love to have as much ammunition as they can get to go after Elon.
“Deleted” my Facebook account 3 times in last couple years. I can still log in
I tried this as well, created a ticket and since then it’s as if no ticket exists… if you manage something, please let me know. Or if you know where I can report them, I was not able to find anything (my google-fu is pretty weak)
