Great Data Purging Revolution

Most of these services are non compliant. They harvest data without justification. Running targeted ads on the platform is not a valid reason.

Problem is that nobody dares to prosecute them. Agents prefer to focus on small or medium business, because they have no teeth.

If they were going to pick on a big platform, chances are they would get a job offer or other indecent proposal to drop it.

When billions are at stake, there is nothing these companies cannot do to protect their interests.

Given that GDPR has done nothing for privacy - quite the opposite, I am still of an opinion that this was created to give civil servants an opportunity to get bribes. Corruption is still largely not investigated.
