Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

Surely they have a GDPR-compliant way to have your info removed. Right?

They're an American company, and I'm not yet aware of any lawsuits setting the precedent of the GDPR applying to server infrastructure in the USA, which is outside the jurisdiction of the GDPR.

So if they've copied your data to their American servers already (you can bet they have), it's there for good.
