Stocktwits is a "discussion site" and they will delete your profile upon request. Stocktwits is in fact thriving as well and it has appeared this site has wilted somewhat since the ST debut. A lot of traders have given up on the otc penny pump and dump trading, wisely so I might add. I myself no longer really use this profile for stock discussions since I rarely play an OTC crap stock anymore and the discussions here on many nasdaq/nyse stocks is minimal and far less entertaining than what is happeing at stocktwits, add to that they have bot posters who constantly update streams with SEC filing notifactions, ER dates, and much more useful info that the flow of information there is light years ahead of what ihub has going on. This still looks like a site from 1999...

Twitter, what about when someones twitter is hacked and people post things under someone elses name? It does happen, but thats not the principal of the matter as you should be (and you are) able to delete a Twitter account just because you no longer want it open. Hacking is just another reason why you should be able to delete any profile/account you have on the web. Things are constantly being hacked.

Yahoo had 3 BILLION user accounts that were at risk after one of the largest data breaches in history just happened there in 2017. Many accounts were in fact hacked and taken over by malicious indivduals/entities.

Facebooks does have tons of problems yes, which is exctly why they would never stop users from deleting profiles or having control over their data (that was the point I was trying to make). So many scandals, lawsuits and current government oversight occuring there that one more straw will break that camels back.

Clearly David is you, me and every and any individual user, while Goliath is the service provider/data miner where your online profile exists. You should not act coy as it does not bolster your case or exhibit any sharp intellect or deep thought on the truly concerning issues of data privacy, user control and account hacking.
