Users have asked under GDPR for their information to be deleted, so in vB their signatures are emptied and all of their posts are set to 'Guest'. Since the gateway has run, these posts are on the nntp side and still contain that information they asked to be deleted....
I am certainly no expert, but as long as the information stored cannot be linked to any specific individual, it ought to be okay? (as far as I have understood). If anyone sends in a copy of their identity card, how are posts linked to that identity? (containing only name & address). Recently, there was an excellent asrticle in c't, where they tested the responses to GDPR requests across 30 companies. I don't think there were any mailing lists or forums or email archives mentioned.
Yes, that would be my suggestion, just the structure, get the gateway working to vB (or what ever forum software is going to be used going forward) and populate, this will also pull in the ones requested to be removed as 'Guest'.
The bi-dir interface also works on existing postings? I thought/assumed it only worked on incoming postings. Hmm.
The ongoing challenge as I see it will be how to remove references and signatures on the nntp side, but changed on the forum side....
Yes, I too foresee some continued GDPR discussions. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.0°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: heroes+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: heroes+owner@opensuse.org
