It's worth pushing for this. Most of what little privacy protection we get these days is a side effect of laws in the EU. It would be nice to actually have some of those legal protection here as well.
One step closer to banning this kind of databrokerage as an industry.
How? We're not allowed to have experion delete our data, what makes these different?
Also, if you think your data is "deleted" after they confirm your request, i have a bridge to sell you.
