So if I understand GDPR correctly: If I want a service/business to remove all my personal data, they have to comply with it in a certain timespan or get in trouble with the law.
If I understand federation correctly: All posts get replicated on federated instances all over the fediverse.
My question: If I e.g. want lemmy.world to remove my data, all my posts etc are still up on lemmy.ml right? As they just have a copy of these posts?
Would I as a customer have to contact every single instance to get my data removed? Or how does GDPR compliance work with lemmy?
Or am I completely misunderstanding how GDPR works?
But the devs are also instance owners.
Not all of them are! I could contribute to the code base right now and I don’t have an instance.
Lemmy.ml is and Lemmygrad.ml was
My point still stands.
