So, if there are publicly-available records incorrectly connecting you to a phone number, then you should be able to delete accounts under from the rightful owners?

If there are publicly-available records that link you to a phone number because you used to use it, then you should be able to delete the current account which is used by the current owner of it?

You're talking about someone who is using my whatsapp account because they managed to get a phone number I used to use?

Yes, of course I should have control over my account, regardless of who else happened to hack into it.
