I think the fix (from a legal perspective) is very simple.
Ban me from your services if you want, but banned accounts should be able to download their information, for a reasonable timeframe.
In the case you were using Google products as a business (YouTube, Google apps), allow the banned user to show a text communicating to their users the service they moved to or where they can be contacted.
It's a bare minimum, but it would get us real far.

- kace91 6y agoGood point, I had missed the impact of email as an authentication tool. I think the industry should move towards a decoupling of that from email (or worse, social networks). I think there's been some movement towards using phone numbers instead, but that presents its own kind of issues.
- derwiki 6y agoDoes CCPA or GDPR allow for this?
- kace91 6y agoI'm not sure, to be honest. I think GDPR would grant you access to the personal data the service holds of you, but AFAIK they have no obligation to keep the data, so they could have previously removed it (?). There must be a provision for that I guess, since otherwise companies could potentially react to GDPR requests of access by nuking all the information they hold about that user and then replying they've got nothing, which would be a major hole. But I honestly don't know.
