There's no way GDPR can tell we hosts they are responsible for other platform's copy of data, right? Wouldn't that mean Twitter has to remove tweets from every news article that makes copies, for example, if someone deleted their account under that right?
It will be interesting to find out!
I mean... It's pretty explicit in gdpr that the "transfer to non-eu servers" part means you can't send it via federation in the first place to non-eu servers unless those servers also adhere to gdpr: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/rules-business-and-organisations/obligations/what-rules-apply-if-my-organisation-transfers-data-outside-eu_en
The answer is that currently federation and Lemmys use of it are not gdpr compliant and the first gdpr case against any Lemmy instance in the eu will force that instance to defederate from all non-eu servers.
