Letter from Twitter to me. Highlighted area reads: The right to have personal data deleted under Article 17 of the GDPR is not an absolute right and the interaction between data deletion and retention can be complex. Alt text for full letter doesn’t fit in Mastodon’s alt-text character limit. The link to it will be in the first reply to the post.

Folks, please do delete your X accounts, by all means, but I’d be very surprised if that meant that your data is deleted or that Elon Musk won’t be using it to train his AI, etc.
I put in a data deletion request after deactivating my account in 2022 and set the Irish DPC on them when they didn’t. After several back and forths, with the Irish DPC being less than worthless, I gave up. Afaict, there is zero enforcement of GDPR Article 17.
