A few days ago I sent a GDPR request to some company to delete my personal data. They said to install their app and send a ticket from the app. The email was sent from the email address to which the account is registered. Is this even legal?

      Man, Elon really does ruin everything. Can’t even use X as a variable anymore without a disclaimer.

        Fuck that, I refuse to give him the letter. He can pry it from my cold dead hands as he chokes on my liver!

        How about using a programmer style variables like badCompanyName. You don’t have to be a mathematician. Sure, I can totally appreciate concise names, but some times you have to use longer names to avoid collisions.

          I prefer [insertconpanynamehere] but in this case name and shame almost seems more appropriate.

        “As you can see on this graph, the Twitter axis represents time, and the Y axis represents total number of unique visitors”

          Too true.

          There is some arguement to be made that Facebook was kind of good at first. It was useful and it had social impacts that were positive. Over time it became toxic.

          Twitter was awful from day one though, mostly because it was bloody useless from day one. Everything that anybody used it for could have been done, and generally was also done, on Facebook, so there was literally no point in the platform.

        It’s new name is “X, formally known as Twitter”. Which is what every news website on the planet calls it.

        Regardless the fact that X is a stupid name for a company, it’s also dumb to rename a popular company generally anyway.
