And won't be the last either, I bet.

#4Why not give the user control and have things such as crash reporting be opt-in?
We sleep-walked into a society where the expectation is that any and all data is scooped up and sent off remotely without adequate controls and I think it's great that the EU GDPR is making people wake up to the scale of it.
Suggesting that XMPP federation isn't compatible with GDPR seems like an over-reaction, isn't that like saying that SMTP isn't compatible?

#5There is so much misconception about GDPR. It is cleary directed at large data-tracking corps, not single person IM apps. Even if someone tries to "sue" you (which he can't, only report you to authorities), it first needs to go through many iterations where you can make your case.

#6How would they even enforce GDPR? Can't companies just claim to clear your data?

Directed or not at large companies, it applies to all companies.
It introduces a fixed cost for operating with any user-related data, which effectively kills any companies operating below that cost.

#9I don't really get it. So what's the burden for the developer here - he argues that the IP is PII (personally identifiable information), which is true, but I don't think it means you can't log IPs in general anymore?
So is now every standard apache2 installation a non-compliant (illegal?) service, as it logs GETs?
I don't think that's the case.
//edit: It seems to be the case that you are ok if you do log-rotation and delete old ones - which makes sense, so you can still use them for debugging.
