I agree with you on the data grab but this is true for all those services.
Regarding the data they have on you, at least for europeans, you have the right to have it deleted (GDPR).
- varispeed 5y agoBut you will never get a proof that your data was deleted and if it eventually leaks, company gets a slap on the wrist if anything. So far GDPR is a dead law - sure it looks like companies care with all those banners, but practices hardly changed and big companies can largely ignore it as long as they appear they comply on the surface.
- JackPoach 5y agoThat is technically not correct. GDPR only covers personal data with several important caveats. So you can't be walking around and claiming that it's all personal data and it all has to be deleted. The law doesn't work this way. This is a silly example, but nonetheless - you can't ask police to delete your criminal records. Nor can you request your bank to delete all transaction records from your bank account - even if you are leaving the bank.
