GDPR demands it and it's good PR.

I think it’s a bit more nuanced - they’re all giving people a full copy of their data, but you can’t do much with that on say FB> Twitter.

This to me smells like preemptive action against legislation. Sort of the companies choosing which limb or organ to give up instead of dictated by legislation
