The GDPR twigs me out, and has since I first heard of it. I'm glad I'm not writing code for the EU. I've spent decades trying very hard NOT to lose data, and they just want to force systems to add data loss, and the inconsistency that generates, as a feature.... it's just sooooooo wrong.
It's wrong in the same way that DRM is wrong.
Am I alone in this?

It's un-natural to require a database to delete records and logs from the middle of a table... it makes it quite possible to have errors that you can't ever track down because of this weird programming. It effectively changes the "laws of physics" for databases. It's not a good thing. I understand the right to be forgotten, but fscking up database integrity is a horrible way to do it.
