Have you finished the process of accounts deletion or data removal? How long did it take?

Was it tiresome going through every "data protection officer" mail of companies while requesting for data removal?

How have you monitored the progress and checked if they removed your data?

Are you strict with new account creations nowadays?

I envy you. The US is often terrible when it comes to individual rights and protections.

On the other hand, the stupid cookie notices triggered by EU regs are aweful. What a blunder.

I guess it can go both ways.
