Cloudflare keeps sending emails over a year after account was cancelled
I care about privacy as much as anybody, but why make such a big outcry over such a minor infraction? An email address is one of the least private and most non-consequential pieces of information that could be retained about someone in this day and age. Which many other companies flagrantly abuse <i>all the time</i> with no shame. Yet compared to many other large companies, Cloudflare has been a company with at least a respectable reputation and track record. Does that not warrant treating them a little bit better than this? Is the fact that they were unable to unsubscribe a user really something that warrants alarming the HN community over? Is there such a dearth of hills to die on right now that <i>this</i> is what we should be outraged about today?
