So, they're trying to be an online privacy service for users but they require companies work in the way THEY want the companies to operate. This is not a serious organization I need to care about as a user or a service provider. They're just setting themselves up for failure by requiring the world around them to change.
Their detailed explanation of compliance issues in the space is interesting and enlightening.
You know what? Fuck what "companies" want.
If you get a clear notice that a user wants you to delete something, you act on it. It doesn't matter if it was sent by carrier pigeon. Can't automate it? Tough doo-doo. Interferes with your business model? Change your model or close.
You are 100% entitled to feel that way, but if they have a process that automatically deletes all of your data for you and you don't want to use it, don't complain.
You missed the point.
