The issue is potential copyright, the right to be "forgotten", and of course illegal porn (csam, "revenge", etc).

    I actually would really love to hear how "right to be forgotten" applies to an email you've sent. I mean you can't force anyone to delete an email you've sent to them, so how does right to be forgotten even apply for emails?

    The fediverse would work in the same way, I think.

    I’ve only ever seen the legal “right to be forgotten” concept applied to search engines and news publications. I think the closest to this was in Delhi high court where they ruled to have some social media “news” posts deleted. But that’s far different from having platforms erase things you’ve said and may regret. And then add yet another degree of separation for using a semi-private form of communication in email.

    I am not speaking authoritatively so anyone who knows more than me jump right in.
