What's the GDPR impact on this?
If I have my own blog on my own domain, and Google and Wayback Machine archives it, can I request them to delete it one year later under GDPR?
- thegeomaster 9y agoYou can already do this, by including an entry in your `robots.txt`.
- chrisvalleybay 9y agoYes, unless it is in the interest of the public to keep it up [0]. [0] https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/apr/13/google-loses-right-to-be-forgotten-case https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/apr/13/google-lo...
- mercer 9y agoWayback Machine does respect robots.txt, I think. I'm curious what happens if you lose control of your domain, though.
- kevingadd 9y agoIf you lose control the whole history of the site gets nuked by a new robots.txt. This has happened in a few notable cases fairly recently.
- bryanrasmussen 9y agoI guess so if that blog identifies you in some way, which you can probably argue it does.
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoPII is identifiable with you and personal. Though practically I can't see Google checking if particular pages have PII rather than just regular information. Almost all my blogging is about tech, not PII at all.
- s_dev 9y ago>can I request them to delete it one year later under GDPR You can request they delete any personal/identifiable data. So any references to names, email, pictures of you etc but probably not content.
- eigengrau 9y agoIn general you don’t need GDPR for that. It suffices to be a copyright holder to the content made accessible on the Wayback Machine.
