RE: BIG Things! @ned at Consensus 2018 - The Legality of Content Takedowns (GDPR) & SMT Communities That Don't Use Stake Weighted Voting!
My understanding is that the moment the carrier becomes aware that they are 'carrying' 'illegal' things, they become obliged to take action to change the situation. This is part of why some sites take the position that they simply won't look at their content. However, as soon as content is flagged in one way or another, it becomes the carrier's responsibility.
In our case, to get something removed from 400+ witness nodes, begins by filtering at the rpcs for further inputs, but then would require a chain fork to re-ledger the chain if data was removed from validated blocks. But private registration information better not be in the chain, only public information, so I'm not entirely sure what the issue is. If you issue a take down of your private info on a blockchain, it means erasing the keys on your OWN computer or not putting stuff in a post or comment or wallet memo, you dont want public in the first place.
I'm not really sure what you are saying here. The GDRP states that if a data controller or processor stores data about an identifiable natural person on their system, then that person has the right to edit or remove it. That cannot be done on an uneditable blockchain, for starters.
Precisely, but, a block chain is a public record of transactions. Not a private store of user information.
If you are right, then the first thing I'm going to do is send a nasty letter to the us government to force them to remove my public information from all their records, starting with the IRS, the justice department and all the state police departments and sheriffs departments that have ever collected a thing about me. Poof, screw you America, Europe said I could disappear! :)
You aren't a European citizen ;)
Besides which, there are exclusions in the GDRP for 'law enforcement' and related systems.
But I am right and you should send the letter asap! :)
I'm not, but my daughter has dual citizenship with the UK, does that buy her a ticket?
I will speak to the German Queen of England and see what she says.. I'll call the butler immediately.. one moment.
Remind her my last name proves I too am of Germanic (and Polish) descent...
You tell that Mrs Saxe-Coburg so-and-so we want our data erased or we won't send any wedding presents to Meghan and Harry next week, and I mean it!
She says that unless you have a super yacht anchored in Monaco you will have to wait in line like everyone else.
Press 1 to continue waiting.
Alternatively press 9 to hold indefinitely.
lol
BY the way - I've spent some time on this myself, since our system is being made GDPR compliant under my direction as VP of Tech, it falls on me and my department to ensure readiness. We have to be able to eliminate any data about you, in runtime or archives such as backups, even offline filing cabinets.
But on the blockchain, this is more like saying the new york times has to seek out and burn every piece of paper they ever printed, including those in your house and every subscriber or purchasers house.
Yeah. No. The block chain is effectively a data store of personal information like the newspaper is.
