Until they invoke their right to erasure
- rubyist5eva 5y agoOnly silly people think that right exists.
- tbrownaw 5y agoSure retcons are inherently a silly idea, but if "silly people" includes courts and law enforcement is it really that silly?
- JohnHaugeland 5y ago"Sure retcons are inherently a silly idea, but if "silly people" includes courts and law enforcement is it really that silly?" The key understanding is that silly people do not, here, include courts and law enforcement. The thing the poster is trying to reference is the GDPR, and the GDPR does not offer this right with regard to other individuals. What makes this silly is people pretending rights exist that actually do not.
- oauea 5y agoIf someone is publicly compiling a database of other individuals, and hosts this on e.g. github, you can absolutely get it taken down.
- JohnHaugeland 5y agoWell, go ahead, then. They've been up for literal decades.
- oauea 5y agoLink to any that have my personal data listed on them?
- JohnHaugeland 5y agoThere is no right to erasure from other individuals. That's for businesses you worked with. The GDPR does not have the ability to mandate my personal behavior, and even if it thought it did, many of us turn out not to live in Europe. What are they going to do, prevent my text file from doing business in France?
- oauea 5y agoWhere are those individuals going to host these lists? Probably using a business, such as github or some other hosting company. Just target them.
- JohnHaugeland 5y agoWhy would I target them, when I agree with them? Besides, you're saying "just target them," but you don't actually have the ability. Nothing you can do will get those lists taken down, even if you're on them.
- oauea 5y ago> Nothing you can do will get those lists taken down, even if you're on them. Wrong.
