The site says it's impossible to delete Netflix and Steam accounts, but it's not true.

To delete my Netflix account, I sent an email to [email protected] saying that I was worried about online privacy and that I wanted my account to be permanently deleted. After 3 days, I got this answer:

In response to your request, we have deleted your account.

We hope this addresses your concerns and thank you for trying Netflix.

Sincerely,

Netflix

For Steam, I sent a ticket to their support team saying that I wanted my account to be deleted according to the Steam Subscriber Agreement, chapter 9 "Terms and termination", section B "Termination by you". They replied the day after, but I wasn't able to see their response because the account was already deleted and I couldn't log in to read the ticket.

So, both services should be labeled as "Hard" and not "Impossible".

This github seems to be simply abandoed, last change was made more than a year ago :/
And probably due to the new GDPR all sites marked as impossible now should be "hard" or "easy", because one thing of the GDPR ALL sites that are accessible on European Union must delete an account if the user requests it, otherwise the site would be doing something illegal.
