y'know, the GDPR has known a Right To Be Forgotten since 2018, and yet in Discord there's no way to delete your messages in bulk (instead they're being pseudonymized upon account deletion)
- littlestymaar 2y agoI'm not sure about this but I think pseudonymization is fine from GDPR perspective, you are effectively forgotten, but not your writings.
- chownie 2y agoI've never put any stock in this point, your writings cannot be made distinct from you. How many messages do you need before you can accrue enough personally identifying information to reveal who that person was? Every time they mention where they live, how old they are, what happens about that? None of that goes away if you only soft delete the user's profile, leaving all the content and context for anyone to rebuild at their leisure.
- celdon25 2y agoPretty sure the original account id is still tied to the message and sent to clients even after deletion. People can easily correlate it if they can prove just one of the messages belonged to you.
