Lemmy and GDPR - What is the current state? (lemmy.world)

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

My statement about it being up to those running instances is mean in terms of it's up to them to read the legislation and come to a conclusion. If I were hosting an instance I'd certainly assume it applied, though I doubt there has been any case testing its implementation in this sort of situation.

I can see someone starting a lawsuit against a standards incompliant server that ignores deletes and edits, though.

I wonder if the first data breach will draw the attention of a regulator. We're all using essentially alpha software, with no privacy notice, I doubt there are RoPAs or DPIAs, I doubt there is a DPO.. all those things might upset someone like the ICO in the UK if a breach were to occur.
