EU citizens, remember that you have the right to be forgotten. If you’re closing your Twitter account, you can write to them and tell them to delete your data and your account permanently and they must comply. You don’t have to leave your data with Musk if you don’t want to.
Also remember that you can download an archive of your data before you close your account from:
F4JBS I can't because they're asking for my ID. Is this even legal? Any third party tool to scrap all of your personal data?
@gnu_f4jbs @aral @jpfox pas vraiment non…
@gnu_f4jbs Very odd; they let me in with an email verification code.
@gnu_f4jbs @aral it’s a good idea to download the archive. Gives you a way to proof later data mischiefs, should they occur
@aral I did download an archive of my data on Twitter (soon-to-be Muskodon) before leaving it for good on April 18, 2022, and I'm sure it's a great idea, although it takes 24 hours to have it ready.
@swackhumdinger32_ Yeah, I’m still waiting for mine. Muskodon is good. I still prefer Musk Social though :)
@JackDeeth @aral GDPR is still part of UK law (for now), so the Right to be Forgotten still applies here!
If anybody know a way to actually get into contact with Twitter (not via my account, that's been suspended since 2019), please let me know.
@hans I was doing this yesterday, and found this form on twitter to contact their Data Protection Officer: https://twitter.ethicspointvp.com/custom/twitter/forms/data/form_data.asp . So I found a GDPR Request for erasure of personal data template here https://www.datarequests.org/blog/sample-letter-gdpr-erasure-request/ , and edited it where marked to do so. idk if it is drafted competently or not, hoping for the best.
@aral I can clarify. The right to erasure (non-legal term: the right to be forgotten) falls under GDPR. All EU citizens and residents are protected under this law.
The rights of individuals under GDPR are: right to be informed, right of access, right to rectification, right to erasure (to be forgotten), right to restrict processing, right to data portability, right to object and rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling.
@aral If only our corrupt politicians hadn’t pulled us out of the EU
@aral I love a good DSAR request. I love millions at the same time more. 
@aral What are rights like?
