HN doesn't allow you to delete comments anyway. You can try emailing dang and he'll give you some excuse about how he doesn't need to care about GDPR and data protection laws.

To be fair HN is purely a US entity; GDPR doesn't apply as much as the EU might insist it does.

GDPR applies as long as you service is used by EU citizens[0].

Sure, that's what the EU claims. Doesn't make it so.
