One of the things platforms use to keep us coming back and investing more of our time in building their site for them, is Internet Points. They don’t do anything, but we still crave them.
On Reddit, these Internet Points are, of course, called “karma”
In moving on from Reddit, I’m burning over 80k karma.
It feels fine. I mean, it has no real value, and bots can scrounge up that amount of karma in an afternoon, but it still represents a sizable time investment.
How much are you burning, and how do you feel about it?
I don’t think it would be a “take them to court” job - in particular you’d struggle to prove actual damages. However you most definitely can report them to your country’s Information Commissioner’s Office, then leave the matter with them.
I kind of feel like they’ll just brush it under the rug, though. But really that is the correct course of action.
I’m not talking about suing them for damages. I’m not an american. I’m talking about forcing them to comply with the law and delete me.
You still can’t take them to court to do that. The way you’d do that is by reporting them to the regulatory body - in this case, your ICO.
You’re right, of course.
What I mean is that I don’t have the energy to follow up on beraucrecy for months and months. It doesn’t really matter to me what it’s called.
It is my experience that this sort of thing either gets a lot of attention, or it comes to nothing. Often both.
