I know there is a lot going on at Twitter right now, but here's one more thing. Twitter is ignoring #GDPR requests from people to delete their DMs.
At the moment, when you press delete on a Twitter DM (an individual message or conversation) the DM isn't actually deleted from Twitter's servers, just your inbox view.
So people in Europe have been making requests for Twitter to blitz all their messages. It hasn't properly answered them. And now regulators are looking at it

@mattburgess Twitter is also ignoring GDPR requests based on article 17 to delete data/account.
I filed a complaint a couple of days ago to DPO of the state Hesse about Twitters behavior.
@thierolfOrg @mattburgess I don’t understand how Twitter is ever going to escape the EU.
