The right of full account deletion, the right to name yourself what you will, I am Coleman Laing not Coleman_Lang7395, one's digital identity belongs to the individual who made their own account, what if one wishes to return one day, with their name?
When you create an account, the account keeps your username. "the account keeps your ****name." I hope for a day were account deletions are 100% usernames included, there has to be a better alternative.

Garmin: "We've noticed you haven't used your account in ages. We're going to delete it."

Me: "Okay."

Garmin: "I have my finger over the delete button. I'm going to press it."

Me: "Fine."

Garmin: "Why do you hate me? 😭"

The battle to delete my LinkedIn account continues. I sent an email to [email protected] today (not sure if it's an actual address, but at least it didn't bounce) and I submitted another ticket through the privacy policy form. They closed my previous ticket after I told them I wouldn't submit any identification documents due to my own personal IT security policy. So yeah, that's where we stand.

Old platforms trap users in permanent accounts you can’t reset, reclaim, or rebuild. Facebook locks deleted accounts to your email forever. Reddit fossilizes usernames. Steam ties identity to old payment info. Modern identity systems use passkeys and hardware tokens so users aren’t trapped by past decisions. I’m posting here because I want identity that’s portable, recoverable, and not a lifelong sentence.

I can’t talk about Reddit on Reddit. I can’t talk about Facebook on Facebook. Both platforms block criticism, hide feedback channels, and trap users in permanent identities you can’t reset or reuse. I’m posting here because I need a place where digital identity and user autonomy can actually be discussed.

YouTube’s Unjust Deletion of My Channels: A Call for Accountability

I don’t often use my platform to talk about YouTube, but after what’s happened recently, I feel like I have no choice but to speak out. YouTube has deleted two of my channels — my author channel, jaimedavid327, and my meme and mashup channel, luffymonkey0327. This was done overnight, without any explanation, and I’m absolutely furious. Let me be clear: I didn’t engage in spamming, harassment, or any violations of YouTube’s terms. I didn’t do anything to deserve this. I’ve […]
