People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.
RULES:
- Mark NSFW content.
- No doxxing people.
- Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
- No bullying or international politcs
- Be excellent to each other.
- Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

I'm pretty sure as much as possible if our data is being collected, too.
The fact that it's not as fucked up as in the states is little protection, just look at how chat control got shoved up our bums.
Laughing at America is a splendid cynical feel-good distraction, but let's not kid ourselves and fight for every bit of privacy they are going to try their hardest to wrest away.
I feel like America holds the world back largely by it being so simple for other places to say, "At least we're not like them."
Most obvious in any discussion of racism in Latin America.
GDPR already allows us to delete data with just a request, which is what the comment you're refering to references.
I and I am saying not to get complacent.
Have you used the GDPR to remove any data?
