You'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"

The 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.

You're admitting to not actually knowing the law, yet accusing someone of being in violation of it...

GDPR has nothing to do with friction I beleve.

Our lawyer told me that GDPR also applies to paper records, so there is some real-world friction right there.

The important part that there is a right - in whatever good/broken process it is enveloped is irrelevant.

Moreover does HN host PII data? Not if you don't give it to them.

I 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
