> Internet Archive can never exist in the EU British Library archives every publication, print and digital (including websites and social media posts), made in UK. They started to do this before exiting EU. They don't just do it, but are obligated to do it. > violating basic consumer rights, including the right to privacy It's an openly published stuff that was openly available at some point and didn't require any credentials like login and password for access. It's like pinning a piece of paper on a public lamppost and then complaining that someone wrote the text down and told others. > and the right to be forgotten By the way, did you forget about Herostratus already or should I remind you that you must bear no memory of this arsonist who burned Temple of Artemis? > They make it intentionally difficult, and often impossible, to get content removed from their archive. I did read about people sending GDPR requests and getting their personal data removed. I suspect that using just "I want this deleted" as a reasoning will result in rejection though. British Library that operated in EU requires a legal reason for material removal, not just "I don't want this here". > (especially if you don't control the domain) It's reasonable to prove the right to manage the data first. > Internet Archive should be illegal because it violates human rights. Publishing stuff openly makes it available to everyone. 100% of people. Why do it and then be mad that someone remembered it? I will rephrase one of the most widely used quotes in American movies: "You have a right to remain silent. Everything you post may be remembered".
