Not sure why this is being downvoted. It’s precisely these companies that haven’t architected their systems well or prioritized the safety and security of PII by littering it about in various systems and making it “undeletable” in their processes, that need a swift kick in the ass to get it together.
I can’t believe people consider the argument that because companies have poorly managed systems and PII centered databases with no abstraction (and therefore are working right on actual customer record data in their data lakes), that this is somehow a viable argument for why we shouldn’t make deleting data possible.
Companies like this are the next Equifax. Why would you condone their stupidity?
- johndhi 3y agoTranslation of your comment: you believe legal requirements around data deletion will reduce the risk of data breach and therefore are good. My pov: maybe, but the cost isn't worth the benefit of doing it this way.
- happytiger 3y agoAgree. My argument is more along the lines of, “the companies that aren’t prepared for this are the ones who most desperately need to clean up their act in the first place, cost aside.” But I’m inarticulate and do understand your reasoned point.
