why do requestors need to be validated at all? if a request comes in to delete some data, just delete it. it's not the harvester's data in the first place. in what circumstance is it the harvester's right to gatekeep on others' data?
- Nextgrid 6y agoThere can be a legitimate need to validate requests, for example let's assume I don't like you and email the HN mods pretending to be you and asking to delete "my" account. I agree when it comes to bullshit like advertising/marketing where fraudulent requests cause no harm to the real data subject.
