But more reason to hate European arrogance. Imagine if i could go to say your blog, comment my name and address, and sue you for not going into your database and scrubbing it all. Just another way to benefit big companies at the expense of individuals who dont have the tech skills to comply but want to run their own personal sites.
Such an ignorant stance. Privacy is an individuals RIGHT. It should have been the defacto stance for everything.
You allowed the corporate fuckery to cloud your thinking it is too much to ask for. It isn’t. And GDPR compliance is usually straightforward.
is the data required to do what you and the user agree, then be explicit on why and store it. (So the content of a post is required, anything else is not).
Do not use data for purposes not explicitly agreed to with the user and remove any data no longer nessecary.
certain data can NEVER be stored unless legally required to do so.
If the blog platform in your example had an option to “delete my account” and it would then completely scrubbed this would be plenty compliant probably. As would the option for people to comment without storing anything but the comment.
It is, which is why you have the RIGHT not to use a public space and push your information out to millions of people. You explicitly agreed to it the second you started doing it.
And if it didn’t? If it’s just a simple piece of software made by two people? Should they drop everything to cater to European demands?
Europe invaded the world, then turns around and tells the world to respect its self imposed rule it enforces on others. We can’t even host our own space on the internet without you invading and threatening us to operate your way. The only safety we apparently have is in our small size means we might escape notice.

It’s utter arrogance.
