This is really great. I am a big fan of Lottie files and a big fan of anything that makes them easier to work with.

I am so glad to hear about this. Readlang has always been one of my favourite language tools and I am sure you can grow it up to to be a pretty decent sized service, with decent MRR.

Let me know if you are ever in Berlin and we can meet up again!

I think we prefer "restrained" to "meek" ;)

just to be clear - we did not expect to catch him, get him out of the car, and make a citizen's arrest. We just wanted to know what direction he went in to tell the police, but he was too fast.

it's Scotland. Making a citizen's arrest is not so crazy.

Thank you for your sensible reply.

exactly - under GDPR it would be fine to retain specific data for a limited period of time to prevent fraud (which is what this is, really).

Also, this type of user is not making deletion requests - they are deleting and then immediately reinstalling the app to appear "fresh".

I was talking about this part raised above.

thank you for the insight.

Indeed the same though crossed our minds (as I write in the article) that it is unlikely to be his first offence.

We actually did not want to humiliate him, and believe me we had the opportunity, because we did not want to "push him over the edge". I kinda hope he has kept his job so he can try to get help and stop himself doing this again.

aye, exactly. I presume most of the people criticising our "citizen's arrest" idea are form the US, where I indeed would not have contemplated doing such a thing.

In Scotland I do not really have the same fear. Not sure I would do the same thing in Glasgow or London, but still, we are not idiots, we were not going to take any crazy risks but we figured the risk to us was worth it to stop the risk to our sister. We weighed the risks up.
