Earlier quoted context omitted.

Massive leaks are a security issue, and have nothing to do with users being able to delete their data at will.

Well, if it's their data, shouldn't they be able to delete it at will?

They can totally delete "their" data. It's not "their" data if someone else has it.

GDPR and policies like it are an existential threat to a Big Data future where so much can be possible if we are able to amass as much data as possible without fear of consequences. GDPR should be resisted by as many companies and startups as possible.

Amassing as much data as possible always has consequences, which is why this legislation is needed.
