There are two types of ignoring that's been very common with the american and swedish companies I've battled with.

1. Protection against law suits. We reserve the right to not delete any information you have, since if there's a law suit we would need that as proof.

2. Freedom of speech. We are a publisher, so by removing your personal information, our right to free speech is threatened and since this is a foundational legal principle, it overrides any GDPR laws.
