@mcc also, I am too dumb to understand all the nuance here, but I'd be surprised if the irrevocable rights in the TOS trump the GDPR erasure rights. (I found this link just to prove to myself that I hadn't made them up https://gdpr.eu/right-to-be-forgotten/ )

Everything you need to know about the "Right to be forgotten" - GDPR.eu

Also known as the right to erasure, the GDPR gives individuals the right to ask organizations to delete their personal data. But organizations don’t always have to do it....

@ChateauErinErin @danwingDan Wing @BrianEnigma I think this thread is a *very* clear summary of why *privacy* regulation like GDPR/"right to be forgotten" does not protect you from *copyright* issues:

TLDR lunarood's conclusion is "they could satisfy GDPR by continuing to host your content but changing your name to 'anonymous'".

@derickr@phpc.social @mcc@mastodon.social @dotstdy@mastodon.social Copyright and data protection are two very different legal frameworks, and naively relying on the latter here is misguided. Copyright law concerns the protection of creative expression, whether or not it constitutes personal data. The GDPR concerns the protection of data linked to an identifiable person, whether or not it constitutes creative expression. Social media posts unambiguously constitute creative expression, but not necessarily personal data.
