Which programming language will you use?

Yes and no, it is your instance’s backend that is responsible for this behavior. Once your instance is up-to-date, you should not see these old results any more. No need to wait for all other servers 😉

Wow, that is incredibly annoying! I can’t imagine they wouldn’t get forced to take it down.

Great idea, but the money they have is barely enough to make a dent in the development scope they are aiming for.

Sure, but that isn’t how it works under GDPR. You don’t need to prove the information should be deleted, you need to prove the information must be kept. To give an example, the company I work for deals with long-lived contracts (often 20 years or more), and once they end we are legally allowed to keep the information for about 5 more years. After that we need to remove it.

Something like this might have to be done to comply to GDPR. I’m not sure about the details, but I do know a company cannot keep personal information for longer than they need. At some point, I guess that would probably translate to removing old and unused accounts.

What would be the probability of u/spez being behind this attack, in an attempt to sabotage lemmy?
