You absolutely can if you meet the wickets. Otherwise geekhack would be in a world of hurt for fines etc.

Conforming to the GDPR is not a choice one can have, as long as they have EU users. You either conform to it, or deny access to EU users. But as GDPR is in effect already, and GeekHack is still accessible to EU users, there really is no choice there.

(And yes, if it comes to that, I'll go and invoke the GDPR with every tool I have at my disposal. I hope I won't have to, though.)

As long as he waits until there is a new owner, or there is a hint of a deal going through, I don't think it's a bad thing.

I think the objective is to simply nuke the whole account, posts and all would be wiped or replaced with gibberish. Similar to how the one for Reddit works https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nuke-reddit-history/aclagjkmidmkcdhkhlicmgkgmpgccaod

guess its time to start manually erasing.

Is there no other option based moderators? I know access is limited but is there really no option to delete my posts and account?

Aren't there backups if you manually erase it?

You're missing my point.

I think that the user who wants to have his account removed should be given the choice between "Delete all my posts" and "Do not delete posts".
There might be reasons for leaving without having it all deleted.

As a person that works with companies on GDPR compliance investigations (among other types of investigations), this place is an absolute nightmare.

You really have no choice but to nuke it. I am dead serious.

So much EU user data thrown across fulltext in posts, PMs, linked google docs (those links are also a no no); GDPR compliance is more than just removing a user account. it is not like there is a push button redaction tool for SMbb full text content; you have to scan SQL for named entities to bulk redact and hope that your regex is good enough. And also you have all the backups to deal with. Good Luck. Sure you can make arguments that it would never happen for a community website like this, GDPR doesn't matter, etc--fine, I hope that I am wrong.

I don't think you're wrong honestly. I also work with GDPR. It's a total PITA as I doubt many of the required necessities for it aren't there or even potentially possible with this forum software.

That is provided that iMav does not give them any backup !! Then they would have it and I don't.

Of course. I just don’t want anyone to be like oh this is all we need to be GDPR compliant! There’s a lot more to GDPR than just what the plugin does :) hence why quite a number of places will just ban EU users (such as LA times) while they become fully compliant.

Nothing a good lawyer can't fix. Massdrop has deep enough pockets that it might actually be worth pursuing legal action due to Geekhack's non-compliance with EU law.

Out of curiosity, could you explain how theoretically the fine would be collected if the aforementioned people/organisations were actually punished. How does this work internationally?

Actually just curious. I just can't conceptualize how, what I assume is an EU regulation would be enforceable internationally upon a person not in a member state and without cooperation from the host nation (I am just assuming US would not bother enforcing this).

For companies that have a physical presence in the EU, the GDPR can be enforced directly against them. This doesnt really need much explaining, is standard EU law

For Companies that don't have a physical presence it gets a little bit more complicated. Some companys will have designated representatives located in the EU and they will act on behalf of the company.

If they dont have a representive; EU member state authoritieswill act within accordance to international law.
The US government is fully on board with enforcing it and have stated it on many occasions, its also worth noting the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield has been inplace for many years and has been strengthened due to GDPR

While we're at it can we request all our data according to the new gdpr guidelines?
Note: I run (and have run) multiple SMF, PHPbb and Vbulletin (and a few other) forums for many years.

I can answer this very easily.
The forum itself only collects what info you put in and the IP addresses you use to access the site, looking at someone's profile (or your own), you can see everything collected other than their IP address (which the mods and admins can see), and the password (which is encrypted). Yes, they could use a plugin or custom code to get more, but that can dramatically increase hosting costs due to overhead, pose a security risk, and just generally create more work administering the site.

Why do that when you can just add a line and use Google Analytics, which many, many sites use for the above reasons. GH does use Google analytics, however site owners only get to see a fraction of the info Google collects. None of of it is stored on GH's server and it is anonymized before the site owner can see it. So while a site owner may be able to tell someone was looking at freaky porn before coming to the site they can't tell who it was. At any rate, if you want that info, you need to talk to Google because it's not collected or stored by GH.

I think it's hilarious if anything at this point, GDPR wikipedia armchair experts extraordinaire and people trying to legally combat a company whose latest valuation was $50m by filing a complaint or deliriously hiring a lawyer; funnier even is the fact that GDPR is a European thing and thankfully we don't usually have this "sue everybody" mentality, maybe it's trendy and catching on.
