Klout quietly shutdown and deleted all data the day the GDPR came into force.

Wait… did they say they’re deleting the data or simply making it no longer available to users?

"If you do not [download it locally], your data will be lost upon deletion on February 28, 2025 at 12pm PST. [...] On February 28, 2025 at 12pm PST all remaining consumer data will be permanently deleted."

Yeah, I get that’s what’s being said, but could someone be playing games with terms, with the intent of using the data for training?

Experience has taught me to ask questions.

Does Elon’s antics with the US Govt count? I’m sure at least one of his DOGE Daycare crew accidentally dropped a table or deleted a ton of data because he left off a where clause.
