You're viewing a single thread.
How exactly does Lemmy remain in compliance with laws regarding, for example, a user's right to have all data associated with their account deleted (right to erasure, etc), or ensure that it is only kept for a time period reasonable while the user is actively using your services (data protection retention periods, etc)?
It's not a big deal for me, just strange to think Lemmy of all places would be built to be so anti user's data rights. The user is ultimately the one that decides what is done with their information/property, after all.

GDPR does not depend on business size, there are just a few stricter requirements when you have more than 250 employees. But most of the GDPR still applies to my knowledge.
suck my balls
Uhuh, suuureeeee. Tell that to any number of fines that has yearly been issued by my country's GDPR oversight agency on ordinary citizens.
GDPR only applies when people file reports and when there are lawsuits. There's literally no shortage of articles of people fined for GDPR violations, all people need to do is search for them.
When someone files the inevitable court case, please let me know. I have some admin behavior bullshit I will be willing to personally get in contact with the lawyers about that I think could help it.
Because Federation is a terrible idea
But think of Reddit, they can delete a post but a bunch of archived websites will still have it. That doesnβt make Reddit non-compliant
Why is federation bad? It's the only way to decentralize without having everyone scattered across millions of sites.
The days prior to 2014 are gone and for the most part, the overwhelming majority of people don't want to register across dozens of sites. Everyone naturally gravitates toward massive content silos where they can get everything in one place.
For the health of the internet you want people scattered across millions of websites
And the need for regulations that limit active users isnβt a reason to contribute further to the problem
Preventing congregation weakens the effectiveness of disinformation and propaganda campaigns, and protects against bullying

I don't understand this point. Federation brings everyone together. I don't understand why it's bad for everyone to spread out.

This is a contradiction. This is an argument for having everyone decentralized rather then together in massive content silos.

Yes, if everyone is together it is much easier for misinformation to spread
If a Russian content farm was to try and get a message out would it be easier if they made one post seen by millions or thousands of posts seen by a few thousand people
Even Lemmy mods know federation is a bad thing because their answer to preventing the above is defederating
It's not bad in principle, but so far there hasn't been an implementation that fully addresses all relevant issues.
