If you have a blog you probably want comments. If you have comments you need a banning mechanism and IP logs to avoid ban evasion. A hacker or a spammer would send you a SAR or a Right to Be Forgotten request, to purge his IP and spam history to prevent you from mitigation of his spam. You can hire a lawyer to oppose that request. The lawyer has to individually weigh circumstances in each case, to justify either a denial of request or limiting its scope. Some of the requests will be fake, some will be real. You will have to do dilligence on each. Does your small blog have a budget for this?
- fwdpropaganda 9y agoPeople will figure it out. I'm amazed how people have such a strong faith in "technology will solve everything", but the moment you suggest that a piece of regulation might make anything trickier, all of a sudden technology isn't good enough any more. Isn't this a business oppportunity? You've just spotted a difficult problem that (seemingly) you're convinced will be a big issue soon. Go solve it!
- cft 9y agoI run a company with 9 million MAUs. I can't figure it out without spending a million. Complying with GDPR totally changes our finances, unless we want to surrender to spam. Collecting data is essential for spam mitigation. It's hard to compete with big companies as is, without "discovering" new artificial obstacles created by regulators!
