Honestly I’m not so sure it would help, as these bots would be trained on previous customer service interaction.
I’ve been trying to get an Instagram account deleted for the better part of a year, and even with quintuple (!) ID verification and threatening to bring an GDPR case to bear, all I get is what amounts to “computer says no”, in such a talking-in-circles kind of way I am not sure I am talking to a human.
- bmicraft 3y agoJust an idea, but try looking for a gdpr specific email/contact form. Usually companies have a specific one for that purpose because they actually have to comply with them. In case that leads nowhere, you should raise a complaint with you local data protection agency, for example https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/ https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/
- jorvi 3y agoI already did that, otherwise Instagram provides no support. I’ve been trying to escalate it to a manager, because I feel once the Irish data authority gets involved it will be handed off to legal.
- bombcar 3y agoIs it your account you want deleted or someone impersonating you? Because killing your own account can be easily done by posting objectionable content.
- philpem 3y agoSounds like a great way to get yourself on a watchlist, too. Or banned from other things.
- johnnyanmac 3y ago>on a watchlist, too honestly spam is the easiest and safest way to get banned. easy to automate as well. doubly efficient if you scrape the site to power your bot.
- johnnyanmac 3y ago>I feel once the Irish data authority gets involved it will be handed off to legal. that's ideal if they are ignoring GDPR protocol, right? it'll make for glacial progress, but you did say you've been at this for a year as is.
