Proposal for a new regulation, dear @EUCommissionEuropean Commission. When a digital service like Apple iCloud, Google, Facebook etc decides to block or delete your account, they MUST give you a way for a limited time (I'd propose 6 months) to download all data/files they have stored under that account. You should be able to access it using the last known credentials. AFTER a full download has occurred, the account may be finally deleted. I am sure it needs more refinement, but the principle should be established.

If you have a fediverse account, you can quote this note from your own instance. Search https://social.wildeboer.net/users/jwildeboer/statuses/115713253190113709 on your instance and quote it. (Note that quoting is not supported in Mastodon.)
