They must oblige within a certain time frame — even if your account has been suspended and I believe even if you’ve deleted your account. Curiously, this might be one effective way to protest. Golly I wonder what would happen if many people requested such reports simultaneously. It seems these must be processed manually by admins.

As a bonus, it’s nice because all your comments and messages are searchable.

    I’m sure you’re right, but curious why it took so long to process my request? If it’s automated and easy, why isn’t it done immediately?

      My guess would be to sway your opinion - requesting your data often happens when you leave the service and very often it’s because something on that service pissed you off.

      If they take 2 weeks instead of 5 minutes, chances are you are going to calm down, change your mind and stay.
