Make account GDPRing possible in the account settings
(#37)
i've never heard that before. i don't think that's right, as i'm pretty sure the EU doesn't have jurisdiction over what the company lets people who aren't in the EEA do. also, the UK and California have a similar law (with the UK's one even being called the GDPR), so it wouldn't make much sense for the EU to punish them for letting anybody submit a GDPR request.
The UK's one is the DPA, not the GDPR according to official resources.

Make account GDPRing possible in the account settings
How does entering your username provide security at all when your username is literally shown on the top right corner of the page?
If someone wanted to delete their account, there would be two options now: “delete my account” and “completely erase everything about my entire account with no way to get it back”. The option that the majority of users would select is obvious, and it would defeat the point of the current deleting system where you have two days to change your mind.

a hacker may GDPR an account that they hacked.I was going to respond and say “a hacker could also delete an account that they hacked”, but when you think about it, you can probably use Contact Us to get a deleted account back, but not a GDPR'd one.
