It seems to me that services that pretend to delete data but don't actually do it are usually subject to criticism on Hacker News, not praise.

The issue tend to be services who are not upfront about it. "This is potentially really damaging, so in case it's a mistake we'll just hide it for 24 hours during which you can undo" or something to that effect would be sufficient.
