probably you were in a hurry or distressed and didn't read the text while deleting the account and probably, you have disabled your account. They will offer an option to disable account in case you change your mind later. Please stop spreading misinformation.
- swamp-agr 5y agoDisagree. - I explicitly check to avoid any "disabling". - The only intent was to permanently delete the account. - You can believe me or not and I did it really careful.
- iforgetti 5y agoMove to a European country and Sue there for GDPR violation.
- sbarre 5y agoYes that sounds entirely reasonable and practical.
- OneTimePetes 5y agoCouldnt you transfer your account temporary?
- swamp-agr 5y agoI am in the middle of exactly that process!
- puglr 5y agoWhat are the actual remedies available to you in your jurisdiction? Which one(s) are you pursuing?
- flipbrad 5y agoYou don't need to live in the EU/EEA to invoke GDPR rights. Case in point: the UK authority upheld a US resident's GDPR claim against Cambridge Analytica (and yes, Facebook was involved). https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/news-and-events/news-and-blogs/2018/05/ico-serves-enforcement-notice-on-scl-elections-ltd/ https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/news-and-events/news-and-bl...
- cutler 5y agoPre- or post-Brexit?
- OJFord 5y agoWhy would that matter? Here are the changes: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/969514/20201102_-_GDPR_-__MASTER__Keeling_Schedule__with_changes_highlighted__V4.pdf https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... Afaik it's entirely administrative, e.g.: > ~~an adequacy decision by the Commission~~ relevant adequacy regulations under section 17A of the 2018 Act ('the Commission' being the European Commission, and no longer relevant.)
- TomSwirly 5y ago> Why would that matter? Because since Brexit, the UK is no longer protected by the GDPR.
- OJFord 5y agoThat is perhaps pedantically true in a way you almost certainly don't mean, that there is no longer 'the GDPR', there is now the EU's GDPR and the UK's GDPR (both using that name) ... but basically false. As I said above, it was kept with the necessary amendments. That documents title: GDPR - Keeling Schedule. Introductory paragraph: > This schedule has been prepared by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport. It is intended for illustrative purposes only to assist the reader in understanding the changes to be made to the retained General Data Protection Regulation by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc)(EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (as amended by the Data Protection, Privacy and Electronic Communications (Amendments etc)(EU Exit) Regulations 2020 (subject to Parliamentary approval) when these come into force.
- Nextgrid 5y agoI'm pretty sure you can't "sue" under the GDPR. The best you can do is report them to your country's privacy regulator but so far all of them are absolutely incompetent or unwilling to enforce the regulation.
- TomSwirly 5y agoHello from Amsterdam! I'm confused. Are you expecting me to spend hundreds of thousands of Euros to get together a team of lawyers and spend years litigating with Facebook? It's not even clear if I have standing. And what damages would I get? $3.50?
- itomato 5y ago"disabling" until later is the opposite of immediate deletion. Please stop spreading disinformation.
- c8g 5y agoEven your computer has delete and cancel button. Isn't the cancel button opposite of immediate deletion when I am explicitly trying to delete file. Hope you can understand and don't mock others.
