Any idea if the fundamental incompatibility between GDPR and "cloud" is ever going to come home to roost? (You know, how personal data is supposed to be deleted on request, but the whole idea of "deletion" is pretty hard to properly execute in practice without physically destroying the storage, especially for transistor-based storage like SSDs!)

> especially for transistor-based storage like SSDs! It's actually much easier to render deleted data unrecoverable on a flash based SSD than a hard drive, if you're willing to use only SSDs that eschew a few very common performance optimizations. So that fits right in with the theme.

Is simply unlinking a file in the FS not sufficient for GDPR compliance?

  It's supposed to be erased, not put in a pile of “things to write over at a later date”.
