The posting I responded to was about a case where the transactions themselves cannot be deleted since they must be retained for accounting reasons, so the same reasoning applies here: If they need to retain the messages/bookings/... for legal/accounting reasons, then they're exempt. If they don't need to retain them, they can just delete them.
- spacebanana7 5y agoThe banking example was a bit muddled because it mixed the necessity of deletion with the method of deletion. Wherever possible a business should delete relational data upon request. However, relational data is special because it cannot be effectively deleted by overriding user data with random values as Confluence seems to do. Even if banks were allowed to delete customer data, they would face the same problem as social or booking services in that their relational data must be truly 'removed' rather than just overridden.
