Whilst not new I do note that ycombinator does not appear to accomodate the ability to delete your account in any way shape or form.

Why is this?

I note that ycombinator afford no such compliance - ie no way to delete your account and related posts in any way shape or form.

Why is this?

That's a terrible article. It wasn't a law they passed it was written into a proposal for a directive. It may be law in a couple of years. Even then HN is a US based operation and not obliged to comply with the "right to be forgotten" even if it does pass.
