So I'm pressing X for doubt, but someone with legal knowledge may enlighten me otherwise.
- arp242 2y agoPublic comments are not personal data, either in the "common sense" meaning or as defined by the GDPR. Maybe purely legally you can revoke permission for HN to publish your comments, I'm not sure about that, but that's a completely different copyright thing unrelated to GDPR.
- consp 2y agoI was a bit shortsighted on the "I ever wrote can be deleted whenever I want" and relation to that, but yes that makes sense.
- KennyBlanken 2y agoThat means that you own whatever you're putting in a comment - you are not pasting in copyrighted content in violation of fair use exceptions. For example, pasting in the text of a paywalled article. It doesn't mean "you retain ownership of the content."
