I wonder if that make the ETH and BTC blockchains illegal to have nodes in Europe from now on. Like if I post a series of transactions that are linked to me, can I ask all the EU nodes to remove this information?
- narrator 8y agoAlso, what if a person engaging in illegal activity wants their data removed? Can they just have their financial transaction history erased and subsequently unavailable to the authorities? GDPR almost seems designed to allow for destruction of evidence and coverups.
- salvar 8y agoFinancial transaction history no, precisely because there is a legal requirement to retain these. Other data? Of course they can. You shouldn't even concern yourself with why that person wants their data removed. It's their data.
