🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that automates the GDPR/CCPA 'right to be forgotten' request process for specific platforms.
  2. A legal advocacy platform that provides templates for users to demand account deletion without ID verification based on data privacy laws.
  3. A service that aggregates and tracks account deletion policies across major platforms to help users understand their rights before signing up.
