PayPal refuse to close an account(↑) I didn't knowingly consent to the creation of, and certainly never provided any photographic ID for, because I refuse to 'prove my identity' to delete it.
There's not even a real phone number (0s) or address (ABC nonsense) on the bloody thing, but of course giving up some PII they don't have will somehow verify that I have the authority to close an account which is basically name + email address (I've provided those!).
(↑: it comes from the scummy dark park pattern checkout process where you say you want to pay with card not PayPal, and the it turns out the card payment is actually provided by PayPal and here you go have an account with the details you provided to the merchant not PayPal, wouldn't that be helpful. It's certainly not GDPR compliant, but try making PayPal care.)

- OJFord 3y agoWell I meant any character I could type (and find again easily for the second one) that would be unique within the comment and not give me italics, but sure. I often use ^, since it's kind of like 'imagine there's a superscript here', think I just inadvertently held on it and ↑ popped up and up and I went with it.

- teddyh 3y ago> imagine there's a superscript here A superscript what? It’s an adjective, not a noun.
