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.

It doesn't apply to purely personal use. See Article 2 section 2 (c). For shits and giggles would fall under that.

I agree. I was replying to your comment that GDPR applies to private data collection for shits and giggles, which isn't correct. For Lemmy, I'm certain it applies. GDPR applies to small churches even
