   I'm perplexed at how the "Don't delete your Twitter account because someone will steal your user name and impersonate you" notion seems to have taken hold. It's like checking to make sure your cabin door is locked before you abandon ship on the Titanic. At this point, why do you care, and why do you think someone would care enough to try to impersonate you?

     @Rachel_Thorn Let’s normalise closing your account and sending a GDPR data erasure request.

     @Rachel_Thorn Of course, as nice as it is that GDPR makes us feel empowered, the full version of that would likely be:

     Let’s normalise closing your account, sending a GDPR data erasure request, having it be ignored, reporting them to the Irish data protection commission, having them ignore it, then having @noybeu sue them into doing their jobs so maybe they will give Elon a fine several years down the line that he’ll write off as a cost of doing business.
