New EU Law Forces Online Companies to Remove Personal Data
Whilst not new I do note that ycombinator does not appear to accomodate the ability to delete your account in any way shape or form.

- Zenst 14y agoI note that ycombinator afford no such compliance - ie no way to delete your account and related posts in any way shape or form. Why is this?
- jnorthrop 14y agoThat's a terrible article. It wasn't a law they passed it was written into a proposal for a directive. It may be law in a couple of years. Even then HN is a US based operation and not obliged to comply with the "right to be forgotten" even if it does pass. http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-16722229 http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-16722229
