    Whether another site violates gdpr and data deletion requests doesn’t mean your site can too.

    Lemmy and kbin should be respectful to the user and follow deletion logic, just like how you can delete a mastodon post and other servers will respectfully delete it.

    Yes, someone might have scraped it, No, that doesn’t remove your liability just because it’s up on someone else’s copy, And even if you aren’t under liability you should treat your users well.

    It’s the right thing to do.
