<blockquote> <p>It seems to me that you could contact photo.net, arrange to make a new password, and simply delete the photos you don't want to be associated with.<br> </p> </blockquote> <p>I already tried this... Photo.net said they weren't able to verify that I fact was myself because I can't remember the correct email adress, much less have access to that email at this point, so I wasn't allowed access to the account. So now it's just floating around here, inaccessible.</p>

<p>That's is my honest opinion....<br> Google has just lost a lawsuit in the EU supreme court forcing Google to delete all data concerning the person who sued them because the hit results were damaging to him.<br> The court not only agreed with the plaintiff but also affirmed that ANYONE has the right to be forgotten on the internet.<br> As such the lawsuit can now serve as precedence for people who insist on being removed from websites like this.<br> I was a member here almost 10 years ago, but over time forgot my username and password. I suspect that I also don't use the email associated with my photo.net account anymore.<br /><br />The fact that Photo.net write in their terms that accounts can't be deleted is VERY MOOT.<br />I would based on the Google case say that maybe it's time that Photo.net employees once and for all grew up and saw the reasonable idea in letting people disappear from their site if they so wish.<br> I my case, my photography life has evolved so greatly that I no longer can associate myself with the horrid photos I uploaded back then, so I indeed find it damaging that my name is associated with that account.<br> How about it Photo.net? Just because you wrote something on a page you labelled "terms" doesn't mean that you sometimes yourselves should stop up and question wether you are being reasonable or just kids playing adults.<br> I have already contacted you from your questionnaire, but I think this debate is too important, since my case is not the first. I suspect there's quite a lot of profiles or people who wants to be deleted.</p> <p>Kindly<br />Torben (Frank) Greve</p>
