Tried to delete my CivitAI account under GDPR.
They told me: “Just use the button.”
No confirmation data would be erased.
No policy. No transparency.
Fine. I escalated to the Irish DPC.
Their reply?
“You’re from Ukraine. Not our problem.”

Google Laughs Off Strongly Worded Letter From Privacy Commissioner
Canada's privacy laws continue to be a long running joke after Google laughs of the strongly worded letter from the privacy commissioner.

The Canadian Press: Google won’t comply with ‘right to be forgotten,’ privacy watchdog says. “The federal privacy commissioner says individuals have the right to have some information delisted from search engine results, but Google is refusing to comply.”
it shouldn't be too hard to extend the right to be forgotten to deadnames as well, legislatively

If anyone is willing to argue the toss without taking it personally and getting huffy, I'd be intrigued to explore how to Right to Archive interfaces with the #RightToBeForgotten. As well as the 'public not Public' consent-based ideas.
Each of these encodes some valid insights and sheds a certain light on how democratic rights apply in digital spaces. The question is, how to line them all up so they don't end up in conflict with each other, and can't be exploited for divide-and-rule purposes.
📢 Excited to share that our paper “Semi-Markov modeling for disease incidence risk and duration” has been accepted for publication in Biostatistics & Epidemiology!
It explores cancer incidence risk and years of life lost due to cancer using a Semi-Markov illness-death model applied to Belgian Cancer Registry data, with implications for the right to be forgotten in insurance.

Sage reminder from Samantha Edwards in the #Globe📰 today: 'Every time we check IG, buy something online, or Google opening hours, we make a Faustian bargain with tech companies: we get free apps & they get to collect & sell our personal data no matter the consequences,' e.g. #CambridgeAnalytica #RightTobeForgotten
During 2025, 32 #EU Data Protection Authorities (#dpa) will contact selected #controllers from different sectors across #Europe, either by opening new formal #investigations or doing fact-finding exercises about the right to be #forgotten. Art. 17 #GDPR
Are your #SAR procedures up-to-date?

I wrote into #Hootsuite #Support asking for the images to deleted.
Their response is that my email is not tied to an (in)active account. No kidding? Maybe because I *deleted* it years ago?!
So now I have to figure out how to prove that I "own" these images.
People, please, if you're going to send me a right to be forgotten request, please check if we're actually remembering you or displaying your account publicly.
I'll spit out a blog post on this quick as I can't fit it here and reply to this toot with it.
Last night in my stupor I revisted the idea that the owners of myspace live with themselves having lost some petabytes of consumer data from the genesis of web 2.0 and my god, that's praxis.

Reading #loops privacy policy got me thinking about #RightToBeForgotten / #GDPR info update provision and #fediverse
Can federated software ever confirm to those laws? Best a server can do is remove/update local representation and send out a Delete/Update(Person) activity. But once a profile has been federated it is out of control. It's hard to even track where it federated to.
Is there any writing/analysis on this? How do folks running #ActivityPub services deal with delete/update requests?
I'm trying to remember a website where you can see guides on how to delete your personal information from different services online.
I'm sure it has been shared here many times before. Anybody know what I could mean?
PS: I was thinking about https://justdeleteme.xyz, but apparently remembered it a bit wrong.
https://justgetmydata.com and https://justwhatsthedata.github.io are also interesting.

@thomasfuchs sadly, they are correct, even tho in the most on the nose & assholeist way possible...
I'm pretty shure they have to allow people to still delete all their content and accounts anyway, and I sincerely hope @noybeu will help affectrd users to enforce their "#RightToBeForgotten"...
RT by @eurireland: The right to be forgotten helps cancer survivors access financial services as they return to normal life.
An EU code of conduct for the financial sector on #RightToBeForgotten could make a real difference for cancer survivors.

#RightToBeForgotten
We propose a new protocol model that re-empowers humans, ideas under development within the Project Liberty initiative.
...Merely introducing new laws and regulations won’t cut it; they will never keep up with the power and pace of new technologies....
"Now #Google only informs publishers of the fact that a URL has been removed, without elaborating on what/why.
That leaves journalists unable to identify situations where the #righttobeforgotten has been misused to hide legitimate reporting on serial miscreants.
Google: We rolled out the new approach following a decision by Sweden’s data protection authority"
