I want to enable comments on my blog again, but (I'm current possibly overthinking things in that) I'm worrying if I need a privacy policy, or how I should think about things like GDPR, and should users be able to delete their comments?

Never thought about this stuff for a second back in the 2000s!

@simon this sounds a bit like there is a need for a good open platform to integrate that handle these things appropriately. A discourse but ran in a sourcehut / lobster, etc style.

Alternatively , detect geoip and no commenting for EU users while everyone else can.

@dsp the UK has ratified GDPR though. A British website administrator is a data controller. GDPR clearly states in the very beginning of the document that its scope is protection of the rights of natural persons worldwide, and a push-back against the global data misuse.

@dsp I already mentioned it earlier in the thread, but the easiest way is to hash PII during authentification and never store it.
