Why it surfaced

GoneBot seeks deletion first, then falls back to suppression, opt-outs, blocks, or security freezes, while keeping the progress file on the user's machine. It requires approval before every external submission and stops for CAPTCHA, MFA, identity documents, legal ambiguity, or unfamiliar fields—a notably careful approach to an otherwise risky automation task.
