At this point, Elon's purchase and seemingly-intentional brand-suicide looks more and more like a political favor. I mean, yes, if we shave this with Hanlon's Razor, the outcome is the same, but the rightward swing of Elon's public statements certainly makes this look more like quid-pro-quo than an oopsie.
Political favor for who?

You mean the data you voluntarily submitted to HN, an organization you don't own or pay for? C'mon. If you want to be forgotten, don't participate in the first place.

#44My favorite part is when the government suggests to Twitter that they should Ctl-F to find 'associated accounts'

The four word summary of "right to be forgotten" does not properly encompass the PII that can be requested to be deleted nor differentiate it from other data which can be retained.

Google seems to be able to find associated accounts by seeing if one device is signed in multiple times. Same with Meta. The court specifically asked for other accounts used by trump on the same device . This SHOULD be as simple as control-F. Twitter almost certainly stores some sort of device identifier that can accomplish this.
They definitely do, and use this as part of when they ban a user permanently - all other accounts (i.e. "backup" accounts) that have ever used the device in question get banned as well. Happened way too often in my circles.
