While I appreciate the effort, gdpr has some very stupid parts which clearly show that it wasn't properly discussed with experts.
For example: Information that somebody had received can never be reliably deleted, any attempt to do so will only make people use alternative clients. The only part of the service that I control is the server, especially in open source, and if people accept that others will see their data, it cannot be "unseen". I can delete it from my side so no one else will receive it _from me,_ but please don't make laws that enforce me to write client features no one wants because anyone familiar with the market knows that this will simply produce an alternative.

    My least favourite part of it was the fact that forcing companies to display a big red NO button apparently wasn't part of the legislation

    @inaba It depends how you read the gpdr. It might be necessary or not. The E-Privacy directive will clarify that.

    I didn't know about that requirement, can you please tell me where to find this information in the gpdr?
