The “right to be forgotten” has caused a lot of conflicts with certain immutable data stores. If I can reconstruct a snapshot with a user’s data, have I actually “forgotten” them? Having a deadline where the merges fully occur and old data is rendered inaccessible is sometimes necessary legally.

I have also seen a scheme where you store the hash, and have a separate lookup table for sensible data, that you can redact more easily without messing with the log.
