Thanks for the info, much appreciated!

I think also that people who delete their accounts can live with at
least the fact that keybase searches in the interface no longer
show up then their page, right?

Regardíng archive.org, I think if one request the deletion of data
there they have to follow too, same as Google and any others.

We people should be thankful that this is since GDPR took place
now possible, at least for EU citizens.
