Thank you for your reply!
However, I am wondering if this doesn't go against the law? especially the GDPR principles?
The key elements of the GDPR
Personal data
The GDPR applies to personal data. This is any information that can directly or
indirectly identify a natural person and can be in any format. The Regulation places much stronger controls on the processing of special categories of personal data. The inclusion of genetic and biometric data is new.
Personal data could be:
Name
Address
Email address
Photo
IP address
Location data
Online behaviour (cookies)
Profiling and analytics data
There are also
Special categories of personal data:
Race
Religion
Political opinions
Trade union membership
Sexual orientation
Health information
Biometric data
Genetic data
Also, when signing up on online forums, You must ensure that when users sign up, they agree to your terms and conditions and
said conditions adhere to the new GDPR.
In view of these, if by reading any post they can identify any of the personal data (listed above), special categories (equally listed above), location data, an online identifier or one of several special characteristics which expresses the physical, psychological, genetic, mental, commercial, cultural, social identity, then upon request by the user, the data
must be deleted
Finally, in addition to all these, is also the right to be forgotten.
Correct me if I am wrong.
