        @aral @carstenwolfram @andypiper why is that a problem? I'd rather have deleting accounts be the illegal behaviour.

        @aral That's a negative CS experience there to boot, main issue aside. Loving the horribly feigned empathy and/or lack of it at all.

        @aral Does it really matter? Just dont use the account again. Even if they delete your account doesn't mean they delete your historical data

        @aral @carstenwolfram @falkowata It's illegal in Poland. You can always read/modify/delete the data any organisation has on you. Move over!
