      They would have to delete their “sockpuppet investigations” pages and so on first before they can move there, otherwise they would violate GDPR.

          No no it’s a coop. There’s more than one idiot attacking Wikipedia this paid state actor individual with a grudge would have us believe.

        Not necessarily delete, just rein in, maybe not make it full public.

        Fraud detection and security are legitimate interests and are exempt from GDPR consent.

            You can keep personal data without consent for security and fraud detection. What Wikipedia does is perfectly compatible with GDPR.

            Edit: case in point, Wikipedia is already subject to the GDPR, it’s a very high profile website, and it hasn’t been sued for violating it.

              Except for those publicly visible sock-shaming and investigations pages, mark my words they’re going to be their Achilles heels one day. I’ve already asked some GDPR lawyers about it a long time ago and they agreed with me on that.

                Wikipedia has always been subject to EU laws regarding personal dignity rights, like the right to be forgotten for example. The GDPR is not even relevant for 99% of those cases, and they predate GDPR and even then web by decades. There have been court cases about it, and Wikipedia complies with court decisions. It’s not an Achilles Heel it is the normal balancing act between the public’s right to be informed and the individual’s rights to a private life.

    When this Orange Turd leaves office I have a few ideas for who should lose tax exemption as well.

      He is not leaving. Americans are weak and he knows it. As long as they have a job to pay off their mortgage, car and get that morning bagel at Starbucks, they are fine…
