         | Goodreads data from December 2020 just before the API was

       | Absolutely stupid that when you unlink an account the underlying

       | your data if it went through the same process of forgetting it as
       | they would for GDPR, and there's a good chance the system wrongly
       | treats the unlinking of Twitter as a request to forget. If they
       | can somehow recover the data for you, they have a flawed
       | architecture for forgetting your data, and they will not give
       | that up as easily.
