Twitter is violating Article 17 of the GDPR.

This is the form letter you receive if you submit a Data Erasure Request for your deactivated account.

It has been 33 days since I sent my request and Twitter has failed to comply with it. I have now escalated the issue to the Irish Data Protection Commission with a formal complaint against Twitter.

You can file your own Twitter Data Erasure Request and keep track of it at https://yourdigitalrights.org/d/twitter.com

Heads up, @noybeu

Screenshot of Twitter’s response: Hello, Thank you for your inquiry. You can deactivate your account at any time. When deactivated, your Twitter account, including your display name, username, and public profile, will no longer be viewable on Twitter.com, Twitter for iOS, and Twitter for Android. For up to 30 days after deactivation, it is still possible to restore your Twitter account if it was accidentally or wrongfully deactivated. Keep in mind that search engines and other third parties may still retain copies of your public information, like your profile information and public Tweets, even after you have deleted the information from our services or deactivated your account. More information about account deactivation may be found on our Help Center: https://help.twitter.com/en/managing-your-account/how-to-deactivate-twitter-account Best, Twitter
