I am references the rules of society, and despite whatever legal nonsense HN wants to say they can do, the fact remains both California and the entire EU has the right to be forgotten and the right to erasure as a matter of law.

- mattw2121 3y agoYou get to dictate what the rules of the entire society are? I am part of "society". I earnestly believe that once you publish something on the internet, it should be there forever (or for as long as that particular medium exists). That's the internet I grew up on. If you went to a newsgroup, or later a forum, whatever you posted there became "society's" and no longer belongs just to you.

- shagie 3y agoArbitrary forum comments do not contain information linking the comment to a real person which is what the CCPA and GDPR require in order for action to be taken.
- mattw2121 3y agoThe only way that comments you submit have personal information is if you include it. If you do so and want specific comments edited or deleted, I have complete faith the staff at HN will assist with that. The rules, which you seem to think don't apply to you, for HN include: "You acknowledge and agree that any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, feedback or other information about the Site (“Submissions”) provided by you to Y Combinator are non-confidential and Y Combinator will be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of these Submissions for any purpose, without acknowledgment or compensation to you."
