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.
Edit2: Similar discussion with many interesting opinions on lemmy.ml by /u/infamousbelgian@waste-of.space–> https://lemmy.ml/post/1409164
I think to this might be a reductive view.
the fediverse uses activypub.
ActivityPub is. a W3C raccomandation and this organisation cares about privacy.
it’s likely that the protocol will, if it already doesn’t, take care of it.
even if it’s up to single imstamcesy is true, there are two further questions here (beyond how much it’s enforceable)
should fediverse help admin in the task?
should fediverse help users to protect their privacy?
and to me the answer to both is yes.
