Ask HN: Does GDPR and CCPA Apply to Hacker News?
45 by corette | 43 comments on Hacker News.
Hacker News refuses to delete public comments or submissions even when users request that they do so. HN says it may consider deleting specific comments if a user emails them and explains why a specific comment or submissions should be removed. Isn't this a clear violation of GDPR and CCPA? HN will anonymize usernames, but that does not remove personally identifying links or data from comments and submissions. Will this ever change? Will it ever be possible for a user to be completely deleted from HN (remove all comments and submissions)?
