Overbearing legislation applied by unelected representatives is being abused. If only there were technical solutions provided with an assumption of goodwill instead of 88 pages of mandates without such an assumption.

Assumption of good will is a trap that naive people fall into. If someone can take advantage of something, it will happen.

I'm a little confused. Who is sending compliance requests? If it's not the ico, there's rely no problem. If it is the ico, ask what needs to change. No lawyers required.

Is it legal to publish the name of the requestor? Name and shame?

Well, if the owner of the forum is receiving request e.g. to delete accounts or to disclose what data is recorded about someone, why not just comply with the request? What's the big deal?

I've been sending all kinds of companies a request of my data. Everyone that keeps sending me mails without me knowing why, I just sent them a nice request to give me a copy of my data.

After that, I request them to delete it all :)

Well that sucks, I wonder if this means other discourse instances might be hit with the same GDPR letters? There'll probably be someone who has (or will have) forked discourse to make these changes.

You're the reason we can't have nice things. I hope you are proud of yourself. GDPR is great but will be ruined by people like you.
