You 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."
