Why is that weird? If I have an account, that has been given access to some resource, it makes sense that I can remove access to that resource myself, just like the admin could. It is my account after all.

Imagine if someone could invite you to a calendar event, but you can't clear it from your own calendar if you say no. How does that make sense?

There was recently a spam group that would use Google Calendar Events to spam you in your calendar. They stopped for a while ago, seems like Google needs more spammers like these in order to get this problem solved.

"Opt out" of any online service or communications should be a human right

It could be a law. I feel like calling it a human right cheapens what those are

Isn't this a part of the right to rectification in the GDPR?

In this case it’s not about rectification (the information is factually correct), but you can remove your consent to the processing our your personal data for this purpose.

I'd think the admin should know if their delegate doesn't want to be so, before the time comes they're needed. The current system seems set up as 'oh, you can't login, let's ask your ex you just had a bitter divorce with for help', which isn't great for either party.

If you aren’t a Googler, you should be. “[description of their assumed use case], therefore [forcing something on the user]” is the right mindset.

As a developer with pretty good product instincts, my first reaction is always “WTH? Why did someone implement this” and then there is someone in the comments who defends the situation and thinks this is the way it SHOULD be implemented.

That’s the best part about these problem reports on HN: It answers those Why would and Who would questions.

> For the person invited to uninvite themselves after is a bit weird.

If I invite you to my party and you agree, your not allowed to leave before I allow you. Yours sincerely, Vlad Drăculea
