So all of your tweets (while being still associated with your email adress or handle), your friendlist, and such are still there? If so, that will be costly for Musk :D
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

Well - the information is not available publicly. But as the system still recognizes my email I can proof that at least that information as not been yet deleted. And I suspect that all of my data remains on Twitter's servers as of now.
There was a story how one guy recorded himself deleting each and every comment he made. The video was like 2-3 hours long. Manually one by one. Only to find that they restored his comments the next day.
How reddit hasn't been sued by the California attorney general I'll never know.
This is about Twitter though
What I was implying is that I don't know how useful the laws are if they aren't going to be enforced and if the penalty for breaking the law is a slap on the wrist.
That was an accident with restored backups though.
For reddit you can use Redact, it can edit the comments for you, they don't seem to revert those changes.

Thanks. I think that is the same form I used the first time and basically the same as the link I gave.
It is clear that they are trying hard to make it complicated - that's why I would urge anyone who wants their data deleted to try to contact them, to complain and complain again. In the end paying their support personnel will cost these companies enough money that they might consider a different practice. (As long as it is not simply a bot answering your requests - looking at you, "Bob" from Facebook support.)
If Twitter won't comply in the next 30 days I will contact my national authority.
Does anybody also know whom to contact on an EU level?
PS: what's GPA?

Hi, Never tried to delete my account there, but if you have a track of your discussion with them, I'm sure your DPA will be happy to hear your complain :)
Report it to your government. I know there are many regulators and politicians in both Europe and many US states who would love to have as much ammunition as they can get to go after Elon.
Why is their contact point another URL lol
You know it won’t matter, Musk isn’t complying with shit. The flippant way he moved the servers shows he has zero interest in anything but himself.
Godspeed.
"Deleted" my Facebook account 3 times in last couple years. I can still log in
I tried this as well, created a ticket and since then it's as if no ticket exists... if you manage something, please let me know. Or if you know where I can report them, I was not able to find anything (my google-fu is pretty weak)
