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 all the time 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 this is what we should be outraged about today?
