flyntwick Hi, everyone. I'm pretty new to the #indieweb movement, but have been a developer for more than a decade. I'm grateful that communities like this exist.

# hashtag_the_first (I understand nothing is legal advice, y'all are not lawyers, etc. - I am just curious how the discussion and common practice has evolved since 2018)
# hashtag_the_first What's the current consensus on GDPR and webmentions for a site and its activities that might in the future have some commercial activity such as donations, subscriptions or affiliate links? (EU-based natural person, EU-based hosting company)

[ggirelli] I'm interested in the gdpr-webmentions topic too. That's one of the reasons I ended up dropping we mentions from the site actually...

# [ggirelli] Does that truly apply only to commercial sites?
# [ggirelli] Oh, you are indeed right. Gdpr does not apply to "processing of personal data performed by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity"
# [ggirelli] But it seems to apply if you self-host and track user activites
# hashtag_the_first **"what constitutes a commercial site" **
# hashtag_the_first This does seem to be one of the key questions. I can see arguments where: I am not specifically using their data to target my services at the **individuals** specifically (maybe only collecting large metrics to target demographics) - though that argument probably wouldn't hold water.
# hashtag_the_first The other question is of how feasible it even is to fulfill the "right-to-be-forgotten" in the case that someone does reach out to have a comment removed. Am I digging into phpmyadmin and editing the database or whatever it is that is storing the user and all their fediverse interactions?

# [ggirelli] I don't, mainly because I don't like how the models were trained by infringing copyright...

gRegor I think https://michaelkupietz.com/ does on some posts, and the hero images on the homepage
