HN is not GDPR compliant. There's no way to get your account deleted. There are only anecdotal stories of someone getting it done via email and those are countered by claims of others of no success.

  Does that matter? As long as you collect data from EU residents, such as an email, then you have to comply. That is at least how I understood it, is that not the case?

      YCombinator does business in Europe, so yes, they do cater to EU residents.

        That might not mean that all its activities fall under the GDPR though.
