Ask HN: What does GDPR mean for banning users?
15 by japhyr | 16 comments on Hacker News.
It's been interesting to read about the impact of GDPR on sites of all sizes and purposes. Let's say I have a site where people can write and share math problems. I have a simple policy stating that any problem that directly or indirectly harasses anyone or any group will be flagged and deleted, and that repeated behavior like this will lead to banning. Say a user gets banned. They then ask me to remove all information about them from my site. Am I allowed to keep any information that would help me keep this person from starting this cycle all over again? What impacts will GDPR, and other data retention policies like it, have on the issue of moderation?
