I really don’t see what’s different about HN in this respect vs any other social media. As far as I understand I have the legal right to delete my data if and when I want to. What seems pretty presumptuous is the idea that your personal convenience when going through old threads would somehow be more important.
- samatman 5y agoYou do have that right, yes. I have the legal right to call you slurs and insult your mother; that doesn't make it right. If I were the person who had to go through the database and delete your comments the second time, I'd delete the row corresponding to your account while I was in there. No idea how HN would handle it. You can find out if you want to.
