> my immediate thought was "what about all the sites that don't actually delete anything?"

Thats the whole point :) Apple is saying they need to or no iphone app.



My point was that not all “delete account” buttons are created equal. Some sites just have an “is_deleted” column in their user table, and will continue to use your data after you “delete” your account. I don’t think apple has any way to check for this, but hopefully they at least touch on this topic in their announcement of the new requirement to the non-developer public.
