"Allow removing it" is a pretty big barrier for many.
- elephant0xffff 8y agoWhy?
- dbbk 8y agoYou can just do it manually... I have a feeling deletion requests will be pretty few and far between anyway.
- kasey_junk 8y agoThere are already services that are automating them for you. They send to 2-300 companies on your behalf.
- GordonS 8y agoI was going to say the same thing. If you're an individual running an OSS service, or a small business, requests for information or deleting information really are going to be really rare. This really isn't a burden.
- unilynx 8y agoThen don't keep it ? We're talking about chat.. you shouldn't be logging the contents, at most a bit of metadata to prevent abuse (eg. a connection log to identify and block spammers). If you don't store that metadata longer than needed (a couple of weeks? storing it for years would be hard to defend) you have legitimate reasons to keep it, and don't need to worry about deletion requests
- GalacticDomin8r 8y ago> We're talking about chat.. The comment I replied to seemed to reference far more than chat.
- viraptor 8y agoThat's why I mentioned I'm ok with projects reacting strongly and removing themselves. Removing my info (and many other GDPR points) is in my interest. If they can't do this, I'm glad I won't be their immortal user.
- izacus 8y agoSmartest, most paid profession in the world and now bunch of those people are incapable of running DELETE SQL queries?
- iaml 8y agoGood luck running sql queries on your tape backup or event sourcing backend.
