--- Quote ---https://law.stackexchange.com/questions/32361/does-a-user-have-the-right-to-request-their-forum-posts-deleted IOW, a poster does NOT have the right to have his posts deleted. He has the right to have his forum profile deleted (nickname replaced with "deleted user" etc). --- End quote --- Not sure how you get that from the 'evidence' (the original regs, not the translated interpretation of same). A forum post is subject to copyright, not something based on privacy. I think there may have been a mistake in conflating personal info in someone elses post (that is, someone posting personal info about the subject) with a post made by the subject. Note that I am not suggesting that, if my interpretation is correct, a post can be removed on demand - it would be subject to having assigned copyright to the forum owner when originally posting, etc. |

It is why people on the news leaving court don't say anything, just look straight ahead and keep walking. --- End quote --- Put the videos out before it goes to trial ;D Again, a threat of legal action means nothing in this regard. |

You retain the copyright in all your forum posts, but that doesn't mean you can demand their deletion. The two are quite separate. Take the example of an author whose book is in 100 libraries. He is ashamed of something in there and orders them all to be destroyed. That's just silly. And forum posts are no different. The writer retains copyright (unless assigned, which would be extremely unusual for freely contributed work) but that's the extent of it. Exceptions are where the post identifies the writer, etc. There is a huge amount of stuff all over the www about this, with forum owners running scared that their members have the right to basically trash the forum, by sending a single email demanding post deletion. Most also don't have a feature in the software for deleting all posts by a particular person. Fortunately this is incorrect. They merely need to wipe out his profile, and perhaps replace his nickname with [deleted user] or some such. This is now getting way off topic but this has big implications for forum moderation. It basically means that if you have a troublemaker you need to get rid of him ASAP - before he produces thousands of posts. The typical profile I have seen (as a forum admin) is an egotistical person who has a constant love-hate relationship with the forum. |

Whatever, I don't see how that portion of the GDPR relates to pulling forum posts (or not) other than where the posts contain personal information. AFAICS it's a dead granny in the making. |

A copyright holder can very definitely demand content he owns to be taken down. If the contents of a book is posted the copyright owner can have it taken done on the grounds of owning the copyright. The same applies to movies and other media. Thinking you can just host whatever is owned by others is obviously unrealistic. |
