i was talking with my brother about removing your phone number form social media accounts but on some websites when you remove the phone number it stays in the history logs on your account (instagram)
is this legal for a website to keep your number in the logs when you deleted it from the account?
People in privacy circles do talk about phone numbers, but it’s usually about them being collected in the first place. Most of us realize that corporate promises to delete them later are easily reneged and impossible to verify, and therefore next to worthless. We need laws forbidding data collection. We don’t have them yet.
By the way, that title is useless to people who are browsing Lemmy to see which posts might interest them.
