Aral BalkanWell, that’s that, then.
Dan Shick@aral how are you going about demanding GDPR data erasure?
@datn I’m trying out the service provided by Your Digital Rights:
https://yourdigitalrights.org/d/twitter.com
It creates an email similar to the one in the screenshot for your and they also apparently tell you when to follow up, etc.

SubramaniEven years later, Twitter doesn’t delete your direct messages

@subramani I didn't know, thanks for the reference!
You're welcome. On a lighter unrelated note, I was under the impression that only we(Indians) use the term "small question" in our conversations.
@subramani As a Latin American I use diminutives for everything :P So it was natural to just ask a "small question" :D
@varaya Hahaha sure.

:dontpanic_nobg:@aral Obviously still go via the GDPR data removal route, but I found a bit of peace writing a script leveraging the API to delete all old posts. I think you can only delete 10 at a time, but a loop sorts that out
I did this back in April, so haven't got the script to hand, thought it was only a 5 liner

@paul Unfortunately, all that script does is have Twitter set deleted = true on the tweets. Deleting a tweet doesn’t actually delete the tweet.
@aral yeah, I know, it gave me a bit of peace though knowing my history wasn't visible (directly) by the public
Getting Twitter to delete it is, for sure, a GDPR thing

embix@brezelradar @aral I am totally up for messing up metrics!
Sieva 🚴🚇🏙️🌹@aral For anyone wanting a poorly written, smashed together python script to loop through their personal twitbag timeline and "delete" (who knows 
) all the posts, then I've found my script and put it here:
You will need a twitter developer account with write access though

Tom Etty@paul @aral You could also try https://semiphemeral.com .
(Unfortunately for me, my account belongs to a group of old accounts that can't delete the early activity due to some bug at Twitter, no matter the tool I use.)
Nat Weaver 🏳🌈🏳️⚧️@aral I'm working on that as well. Gonna feel good when I'm off.
Swidbert R Ott@babylontales @aral I said I’ll give it another month a week ago, but I can’t wait and will probably pull the plug sooner.
@BoogieMoscovitch @aral I feel that. It's only taken me this long because I don't want to accidentally mess up accounts to other sites associated with it.

Well done mate! You and me the same 
Michael Stanclift@aral mine will stay up as a pointer to bring folks here, but I downloaded my archive earlier this week and have made plans to delete previous tweets.
Virtue signal 💉💉💉🇺🇸 🇺🇦@vmstan I am leaving the account there, and I d/l the archive. But I won't be deleting content bc most of it is politics and social justice.
What I will be removing are my follows after I give twitodon.com a try.
GunChleoc@aral Congratulations 👏
I'm still stuck because I have 1 bubble that won't budge - they might not see my invitation posts because my interaction count is too low 🙄
Got a few likes, but no signups.
ilyess@aral That's how it's done. Respect! 👏
Grant 🇺🇦ArmUkraine🇺🇦@aral Beautiful!
costrike@aral *poof*
Helena Roth - Tankespjärn@aral wow!
Inspiring.

Tom Stoneham ⬜@aral How did you get on with the data erasure request?
@tomstoneham Only just sent it, will keep y’all updated on how it goes :)
Panos 🌏💚♻️🌳@aral Congratulations:-)

ploum@aral : did the same one year ago (with a verified and highly followed account). Hard to do but never looked back…
kros
The Chaotic Good@aral any tips on erasing an account? Twitter is demanding my ID before I can erase mine…
Marcel Bootsman@aral Is there some kind of official way to ask for data deletion at Twitter?
Joeri Vlekken@aral a brave decision, respect!
