much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
It seems plausible to me that their GDPR process probably missed some email communication system where the name and email was stored, like a hubspot or something custom. Most places I've seen have a ton of systems with name and email in it, and GDPR processes aren't maintained well across all of the teams using that data.
Not saying it's right, just saying it's possible an account was mostly deleted and the remnants remain in some other tool, and the person you spoke with only knows about their main systems.
Yes, could be possible, but I think this is not acceptable for a company as big as Meta
Agreed it's not acceptable. Unfortunately I don't think GDPR is taken seriously enough. Hopefully at some point the consequences will get better
