This is absolutely insane, and shows that companies OWN you.

      Under the CCPA you own your data. That data should be deleted under request.

      Same thing with the European GPDR

      You can request your data too (like on discord)

          Texas, soon to be the next TERF US State after Florida. Why can’t the Federal Congress do the same California did and stop companies from lobbying?

        You own your personality identifying data yes? Not your shit posts about politics?

        I keep seeing people saying what you’re saying but nobody who is any sort of expert seems to back it up.

      It depends. If undeleted comments included your personal data, like IP address, home adress or your real name, it certainly is illegal
