In a similar vein, if there is no feasible way to remove information from a service (E.G. placing data in a blockchain), does that break the rules of GDPR?
I consider mastodon similar to email in that fashion. The signup page links to my privacy policy which explicitly states that they will be sending data to third parties I don't control. They will be doing so on their own choice (via the public/unlisted/private settings on a toot).
Anyone holding a copy of the entire blockchain ledger? Potentially?
I wonder if we'll see exchanges that will be unable to use EU servers/hosting.
Given that Citizens United set a precedent for “money as speech,” it would be interesting to try such a case on the basis of free speech.
The GDPR is an EU law, and as such it is unlikely that anyone prosecuting under it will pay any attention at all to what the US definition of free speech is.
