Haha data export page, what even is that? Let me just go to my SQL DB, redis, glacier backups, and Kafka logs and just click the data export button. It will only take 3 minutes.

Maybe you could create some sort or reusable digital tool that could be used to aggregate all the data for any given user? Perhaps it be could be called a "script" or "program"?

  Perhaps this person could spend time learning programming in his free time, implement the 'scripts or programs', read 500 pages of law, go back and time and write down every time any amount of data is used, etc etc etc. While you are at it, you could take the bar exam to become a lawyer in your free time to avoid legal fees, to continue to run the forum as a volunteer. And all because europe can't pay software devs so all the talent leaves so they need selective enforcement to make local companies competitive! Trump would approve of such trade barriers.

    "Can I have all my data that you hold?" isn't something that has been introduced with GDPR. It was introduced with DPA over 20 years ago. That was backed by £500,000 fines. THe sky didn't fall.

There's a button to download the user's data on their profile page. You can direct them to that. There's also a function to anonimise a user, which scrubs records of IP addresses and usernames.

  Are you talking about Disqus specific features? Because that is really beside the point and the fact that you are bringing it up shows how clueless you GDPR zealots actually are.

    What's Disqus got to do with it? The fact you are bringing it up does you've no interest in the facts of this case. This is about a forum, which uses Discourse, which has these features. This is totally relevant.
