It guess it's not hard to put a deletion timer and send warning emails before actual deletion. Not every service out there requires you to send an email to delete your account.
- kolinko 6y agoAnd if you make a mistake there, your whole database evaporates and the business dies. It is possible, but it is expensive and risky to do it right. In my case there were perhaps five people that requested data deletion over the span of 8 years the site was working. Features that are so rarely used you don’t automate. Granted, I could’ve added a button that would send the e-mail automatically. It just honestly never crossed my mind - will implement it in future sites :)
