Folks, please do delete your X accounts, by all means, but I’d be very surprised if that meant that your data is deleted or that Elon Musk won’t be using it to train his AI, etc.

I put in a data deletion request after deactivating my account in 2022 and set the Irish DPC on them when they didn’t. After several back and forths, with the Irish DPC being less than worthless, I gave up. Afaict, there is zero enforcement of GDPR Article 17.

Letter from Twitter to me. Highlighted area reads: The right to have personal data deleted under Article 17 of the GDPR is not an absolute right and the interaction between data deletion and retention can be complex. Alt text for full letter doesn’t fit in Mastodon’s alt-text character limit. The link to it will be in the first reply to the post.
Letter from Twitter to me (continued). Blue Twitter bird logo. particular data is deleted - or whether it may be retained because there is an ongoing need and legal basis to process it. While we are working to improve our removal processes, users may continue to request the deletion of specific data by contacting Twitter through a number of mechanisms and submitting a deletion request. When such requests are received, the teams responsible for the data concerned are informed and required to perform manual deletion jobs according to a prescribed workflow. The data is removed from the Twitter systems where it is known to exist, as required by applicable law. We hope that the information above helps address any remaining concerns you may have regarding the deactivation of your Twitter account. We remain at your disposal for any further information. Sincerely, Office of Data Protection Twitter International Unlimited Company

@aral@mastodon.ar.al @noybeu@mastodon.social the Irish DPC being basically useless on GDPR enforcement is a hot button issue in Europe right now, from what I understand the rest of the EU is essentially applying legal pressure and threatening penalties for non-enforcement so hopefully the Irish DPC gets much better in future

@froge @noybeu It won’t as long as Ireland has a financial interest in pleasing Big Tech. Basically, Big Tech keeps the lights on in Ireland.
