Comment on Users ditch Glassdoor, stunned by site adding real names without consent
RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months agoTrue, but keep in mind they likely have backups of everything. If you do this all at once it will probably be noticed and they might just roll it all back when you are gone. Case in point, reddit. If you do this slowly maybe it will stay, not sure.

Even if they know, burnt out software engineers with other priorities are probably not recovering old data

Unless some exec has a meltdown and demands them to revert the site

That’s usually a monumental undertaking for sites that are majority database-driven like Glassdoor. Think multiple regional databases.

I doubt they delete anything. Just add a flag to the datastore so users do.'t see it, but they can still sell it or train AI on it or whatever.

The data is never getting deleted in the first place, “delete” just needs to set a flag for non-visibility. The language used in their disclaimer leads me to believe exactly that is what is happening.
