I've been tempted. But
1. That exposes me to MORE involvement with this service, not less, and potentially legal culpability. Risk may be small but impact is large and benefit is neglible, so math doesn't work out for me.
2. It requires MORE effort on my part. For a poor design and error made by not me.
If it were once every 5 years, maybe.
When it's weekly, it's just an annoyance.
Sometimes when I'm really angry, I just write to their gdpr or compliance officer with a stern better and links to various sections of the law and their obligations. Doesn't accomplish much but makes me feel better :-)
But overall, it's a systemic issue, and given we are on hacker news, I'd say it's OUR systemic issue caused by us :-/
