First coinbase should provide basic features to users before stepping up the Privacy. There is no way for a user to delete coinbase account. Looking around the web I realised its a dark pattern in their design.
Coinbase respects KYC/AML regulations, which prevent deleting accounts.
They have to do that and it is a good thing, like standing up against overreaching regulations in this case.
If it would not be "crypto", HN would stand unanimously with the privacy fight. Banning open source software which has legitimate use cases, such as anonimizing donations to Ukraine in fear of retaliations, paying for abortion in States in the US where it is legally restricted, etc. is a no brainer to me as it sets a grave precedent.
