So how do the new data privacy laws that require companies to delete data affecting forums? Is that something discussion forums have to comply with? Or is it just social media?
Since LUGrad posted his old ID asking mods. to assist him in getting it back (which he did successfully today) I remember him and am fairly sure he's talking mainly about US. Since that's the case - here's some info. It seems to be State laws involved in this... here's a summary I picked from cyberspace. I'll let mods etc. comment on what could affect DI. There's also a downloadable, detailed research report from the site. https://trustcassie.com/resources/blog/the-right-to-delete-in-the-us/#:~
