> So if someone posts something in their timeline, how long is it allowed to stay? Until all friends have seen it, or longer? Was it a violation of the law to even have a space for the user to enter the information into the timeline, since it wasn’t “necessary”? I'm not following the logic here. A social network to me is a place where you post information you're willing to broadcast publicly or to your friends. That's the whole point of social networks. Users understand this and want their data used in that way so I don't see how it would be against GDPR.
