    > Restrict processing – in your admin panel where there’s a list of users, there should be a button “restrict processing”. The user settings page should also have that button. When…

    The user can request I delete all of the data related to them without “undue delay”. Are you ready to purge all references to certain IP addresses in your logs? Don’t forget backup…

    I've never heard it stated quite so plainly, but that makes a lot of sense. I wonder if the billion dollars in funding demands more.

    There are two competing interests here. First, Disney wants to keep control of Mickey Mouse cartoons, and it doesn't feel unreasonable at all that they should. Second, the rest of …
