GDPR is no joke. Storing a handful of comments is not worth the penalty if they get caught.
Note that I speak from experience as part of a company that needs to comply with the regulations. We do it because the risk of violation is 10000000% not worth it no matter how annoying and arduous it is to comply.
That’s true but it’s far easier to globally implement rather than trying to segment. Very difficult to accurately prove a user isn’t EU resident across an entire userbase.
They were fairly specific about not doing that (I’d imagine largely because of GDPR).
I deleted 10 years of “content” before I left and checked their policies. They apparently actually do properly delete from their servers.
I’ve got a bridge in the desert I’d like to sell you.
