Seems like it would be interesting to report them for a violation of GDPR. They’re a good example of a company that should be zealously compliant.

Oh for sure, there’s no way I wouldn’t report them for all the hurdles they threw at me trying to not accept my GDPR request. I only received the account deletion confirmation email on Friday though so I still have to write that all up and I don’t even know yet where I’m supposed to send my complaint to. But I’ll figure that out.

Start here? ;-)

>> mentioning some personal contacts I have to some federal law enforcement officer who works privacy cases

I could do that but I thought there’d be someone who I’m supposed to send GDPR complaint to. I haven’t looked into this at all yet I just remember there was some mention of some supervisory agency or something like that in the GDPR which I read several months ago.

I believe it's normally enforced by the privacy regulator of each individual EU member country, e.g. the BfDI in Germany.

you need to send complaints to your data protection authority, each european country has one.
