1. You can’t. They didn’t have an incentive to prioritize this on product roadmap, at least not until now.

2. Most likely to jump start new accounts. They’ll be able to target ads at your new account better if they already have years of data about your interests.

They have it to finish before the GDPR enforcement date (25 May 2018) - at which time those organizations in non-compliance may face heavy fines.

So, all companies big and small need to have a good data governance that allows to delete data on demand. And, better than that, stop collecting any data that they don’t have been authorized to get.
