Many HN users have been on the other side of doing CCPA and GDPR data compliance and have more than passing familiarity with what is required and how that differs from what is desired.
The four word summary of "right to be forgotten" does not properly encompass the PII that can be requested to be deleted nor differentiate it from other data which can be retained.
We're not talking about passing regulations down on HN: we're merely suggesting capability that almost every other similar forum platform supports: being able to delete your posts & account.
You can delete posts within two hours and dang is usually good about deleting stuff if you email him directly from what others have said in the past. If you can’t delete it, you can edit it to be blank.
