Comment on Californians' data deletion requests, DROP, become enforceable Aug. 1parent

Do you believe the same about search results not being able to be deleted? I also assume this means you disagree with gdpr?

Do you not see the difference between a person volunteering to broadcast a post, vs a bird party scraping the web to index it for searching?

You believe volunteered information must stay on internet forever?

If you knew those were the conditions when you joined? Yes.

Ok. Luckily people who make the rules don’t have such ideas.

You might want to check again, the people who run this forum certainly do, and no aspect of any existing US or EU law does either. Remember your personal interpretations and feelings are just that, they aren't the law or the rules of the places you choose to participate in.

GDPR doesn't require that a participant on a discussion forum be able to erase their entire history. Article 17(3) covers this. It is reasonable for a user to ask that their posts be anonymized.
