Ask HN: Can you delete a HN Account?
Hmm... housemate just got permabanned by HN for too many snarky comments. Just noticed there's no obvious interface to delete your HN account. Anyone know if that's possible?
That's reasonable but still a complete disregard for GDPR's right to be forgotten.
I’m not sure why EU citizens feel their laws apply to a US owned and operated website, because I’m quite sure most would not want eg US law to apply in the EU (I am European fwiw)
GDPR rights descend from EU law.
Google, Facebook etc were in the GDPR spotlight because they have entities in the EU. Not because EU law suddenly applied to US only entities
If a European company provides a service to US users, they have to adhere to US law too.
What action will the EU take against them, and how?
Do you know of any cases where they’ve taken action against companies such as YC?
And do you believe in other countries enforcing their laws way beyond their borders? I’m not against GDPR, I’m against other countries enforcing their laws in my country.
