You don't give a damn; neither do those computer illiterate people who use the same email address and password for everything, and one leak of some shitty inconsequential website may obliterate their entire online presence.

I'm not sure how the GDPR fixes anything, since those people aren't going to be capable of finding the hidden "delete account" button five pages into a big tech company's byzantine privacy settings.

The GDPR says "It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent". If you're hiding the "delete account" button, you're breaking the law.

Wait, I thought we were talking about tiny inconsequential websites here? You moving the goalposts or what?
