Is SW taking the ability to close your accounts away?
I don't think so. What makes you ask?
Just the way you phrased your previous remark.
My point was that he made an account and immediately closed it. He could have just skipped the first step.
But he didn't, it was just his first post. The account was created back in 2015.

Oh, I missed that. How odd to want to close it after a few years.

Some people can only take so much.

But you just... don't log in. it implies that he's been logging in and lurking for two years?

You know how some people are paranoid. I was looking through old posts here last night and saw where Dennis Kelly as asking to remove his account here. I don't know exactly what paranoid people think will happen if they leave their account open though.

That's not about paranoia. that's people upset with the community and trying to rant.

The right to be forgotten means we don't get to ask those kinds of questions though.
If I chose to close my account, that data has to go away at some point. Not immediately, but at some point.
Closing accounts does not imply the right to be forgotten. Closing the account is the right to be disconnected.

There is a very tight correlation between the two.
What correlation? I see none.

It's an inverse correlation. Deleting an account is voluntarily removing the ability to control content by disassociating yourself with it.

The correlation of "oh I'm closing my account, everything I've ever posted will disappear (eventually)"
That correlation does not exist, in any way. It's simply not a thing.

Source - examples of where content should be removed
I see nothing in there related to the association you are discussing. Please provide the quote to where deleting an account is legally associated to the removal of content referring to that user.
-
The "right to be forgotten" is problematic because, for example, what if ML takes a screenshot of SW and posts it here. You expect that deleting the account on SW should automatically trigger a removal of content here?

@dustinb3403 said in SW rant time:
@scottalanmiller "Those in favour of the right to be forgotten cite its necessity due to issues such as revenge porn sites appearing in search engine listings for a person's name, as well as instances of these results referencing petty crimes individuals may have committed many years ago. The central concern here being, these results can unduly play a prominent role in a person's online presence almost indefinitely if not removed."
First paragraph, reference 6.
Definitely not related. Nothing in there says anything about what we are discussing.

Yes and no. If there is value in a post (say I cross posted before my post was deleted by a mod) and I wanted it here.
If I posted information regarding my employer by mistake, and deleted that information. Someone has the ability to go into google cache and retrieve that information, for a duration.
Eventually though that information gets deleted.
No, it does not. Not if people quote it, for example. Your understanding of the Internet and storage systems is fundamentally incorrect, leading you to odd conclusions.
