So if I understand GDPR correctly: If I want a service/business to remove all my personal data, they have to comply with it in a certain timespan or get in trouble with the law.
If I understand federation correctly: All posts get replicated on federated instances all over the fediverse.
My question: If I e.g. want lemmy.world to remove my data, all my posts etc are still up on lemmy.ml right? As they just have a copy of these posts?
Would I as a customer have to contact every single instance to get my data removed? Or how does GDPR compliance work with lemmy?
Or am I completely misunderstanding how GDPR works?
No idea. That’s why I am asking.
I just feel that if Lemmy keeps growing, the EU will eventually take notice and consider implementing requirements/measures/regulations…
But I guess it’s not just lemmy, but also any other fediverse (or any other decentralized) service. Just curious
The regulation is already here LOL. The GDPR is the regulation.
If somebody accuses you, then some court is going to judge.
