Lemmy and GDPR - What is the current state?

NewBrainWhoThis@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 76 points –

As the Fediverse grows more and more, rules and regulations become more important. For example, is Lemmy GDPR compliant? If not, are admins aware of the possible consequence? What does this mean for the growth of Lemmy?

Edit: The question "is Lemmy GDPR compliant" should mean, does the software stack provide admins with means to be GDPR compliant.

Isn't the key operating word here business?

With no advertising on the line and no operations currently in place operating at anything but a loss there isn't a commercial interest at stake.

Nope, GDPR does not limit itself on businesses. It applies to all data collection.

Governments also have to comply with GDPR. They also have no commercial interest in the personal data.
