And steal your data? Bullshit.

The worst is that they are certainly keeping your data, because they never throw anything out, while they are preventing you from getting to it.

That is theft, pure and simple.

That's not theft in the least. They kept the data that you gave them while using their service. Should banks throw out records for people who close accounts?
