Where did you get that "messages and posts" are included in data that falls under the regulation? Not contesting, genuinely interested. I was under the impression it only covered personal data in a very strict sense (names, addresses, personal info like gender, etc)
- kuschku 9y agoThe GDPR, as far as I was told when asking a lawyer, covers anything that could contain personal information. If a user chooses to put their SSN into an HN post, then that post is now also personal data. Or their address. Or if they write in a post that their parent has a specific kind of cancer. Unless you can guarantee that no post contains such data, you should assume them to be personal. And no ToS rule "don't post personal data" will protect you.
