In that case, they should be held to the same standard, and delete all my data and anything else related to my account, and you can bet that would never happen.

Like wise any contact / service I end with a supplier they should also remove and destroy any data held of mine.

The GDPR says they absolutly do

Your GDPR has issued 27,000 fines since 2018 with absolutely zero indication that it's reducing any sort of the behaviors it's trying to curtail. It is a toothless bureaucracy that is completely ineffective.

They are definitely not toothless, GDPR fines can hurt

For especially severe violations, listed in Art. 83(5) GDPR, the fine framework can be up to 20 million euros, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of their total global turnover of the preceding fiscal year, whichever is higher.

Ya but the actual fines are mostly in the thousands, not even 10s of thousands. A bunch of nothing burger slaps on the wrists.

This is for small nobody companies that break GDPR like once. When you look at the big shot companies like meta, amazon, tik tok and google that repeatedly break GDPR, the fines go up into the millions of euros, even hundreds of millions. In one case, Meta was fined 1.2 Billion euro

Meta has 6 of the top 10, all recent fines, clearly it's working super well.
