    Although, by nature of the federation, anything add and then deleted may already be replicated to other instances.

    Some of whom could instead show/retain a copy of it.

    Basically assume that everything will be available and associated with you forever. Even more so than usual.

      Just made me realize that this causes a problem with GDPR. Will that cause issues in the future for the Fediverse?

        Maybe? It would depend on the duties imposed on a third party re the GDPR. If your host instance removes your data and a different instance doesn’t, do they have a duty to do so? Do you have to make the request of each instance with a copy?

            Unknown, but they at least believe that they’re covered by an exception:

            “As a library, the Internet Archive has, in the words of the GDPR, a “legitimate interest” in building collections, providing permanent public access, and maintaining archival integrity.”

            Whether they’ve had that tested in court I do not know.
