This is a little offtopic, although I suppose there's a tangential link to JSFiddle getting no response from Twitter.. I too have failed in getting a response from JSFiddle..

About 70 days ago, I accidentally posted an anonymous submission to JSFiddle.

There was no excuse for this other than human error. I was working on development and production at the same time and copied a users personally identifiable from an email template that our production env sent out instead of development. The development is all sanitised but the prod contains the user's name, email and an order reference ID and what they ordered.

I submitted a take down request within 10 minutes of submitting at:

https://airtable.com/shrm1ACZfg5PsTaUa

Every day for a week I altered the reason. It's still not been taken down.

I've tried the GDPR route, the copyright route.. I didn't get a single response from them and the page was still being hosted on their site despite many many _MANY_ attempts to have it removed.

Update/Edit: Been contacted by JSFiddle directly and appreciate contact in helping resolve above.



So, let me get this right...

You, a software engineering professional copied a user'name, email and order reference ID, two of which are PII into an online service... on purpose.


Yes, and they admitted error and the issue they're describing is that it was very difficult to rectify the error.
