You don’t own your data on Lens 🙃
Once you publish, you lose control over your data. It remains accessible to everyone indefinitely.

- agree
(I think encrypting (pseudonymisation) should be enough)
- Interesting meta conclusion - thats how a blockchain works though. Full ownership means also full responsibility over actions.
GDPR speaks about data deletion in the context of stored agreed data by centralized databases, not a blockchain-like system. I like where you’re going and this level of scrutiny, though. Makes us reflect.
- guees this is where off-chain data plays an important role, but still once the transaction is merged on-chain the same happens again :/
- I really like this kind of sober thinking. What separates WEb3 from WEB2 is a self-contradictory community that can question its own rules, challenge them, ask uncomfortable questions. It's about standing in the truth and nurturing a healthy environment.
- I can't say i have something clever to say about it but i love this serious convo here.
Feel sometimes the lack of depth around here and i welcome more of this intellectual discussion
- Onchain credential efforts of some crypto startups were shut off by EU regulators for exactly that reason. However, that was directly related to personal data (credentials). I wonder how does all that apply to your posts and cat images.
- How it is any different than the bitcoin transactions. They can also appeal to delete those transactions as they can be somehow linked to the individuals. I don't think this pose any threat to lens

In the long run cyber space will be larger and more important to human beings than nation states and the new governance n laws of cyber space > EU laws and EU govts themselves.

- EU can ban ORB, Hey, Phaver.. but anyway new app emerge out of nowhere. Decentralized Social protocols are unstoppable once everyone understands the fundamentals.
