I'm curious: why is hacker news non-GDPR-compliant?
replyYou can't delete your account by self-service, you have to email dang, which is probably non-compliance because it adds friction. It's a grey area, it'd have to be tested in court. I highly doubt anyone will bring a case though. That's like calling the police on your own drug dealer. (IANAL)

replyYou're gonna have to point to part of the regulation where thats not allowed. there is a mechanism for deletion. so long as its done within 30 days its still within spec
I don't know it inside out but I'm following the basic standard "it should be as easy to withdraw consent as give it"
replyThe overall point being that if you want to use a product/service, you'll look past minor violations of local regulations on account deletion or charger bundling.
Giving consent required you to receive an email to verify your account. Revoking consent requires you to send an email. It’s symmetric, like poetry.
replyYou're admitting to not actually knowing the law, yet accusing someone of being in violation of it...

replyI don’t see how that has anything to do with GDPR. An email is a perfectly fine way to initiate the process. It’s not a gray area
