alt Hacker NewsTo me this sounds like the equivalent of visiting a website that sells your data, and then asking AWS to delete your personal data when it actually belongs to a customer of theirs and only resides within their private storage.
Would you ask your local ISP to delete data they provided to Tinder like your IP address? That doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah I was getting the same feeling. I wonder if an equivalent request to California police agencies that contract Flock technologies would work though.

Yes, I have asked multiple companies to destroy my data under GDPR. Its quite common in Europe.
As I understand it, the author wrote to Flock as they are the entity collecting the PII. Your analogy would only make sense if the author had written to Flock's customers (and even then it's a rather strained comparison).
