        Under normal circumstances. But there could be federation issues, or someone could run a custom Verizon that just ignores all deletion requests.

        I’m unsure if that’s considered part of the diligence required in Europe.

        Its not a guaranteed thing. As I understand it servers can simply choose to ignore the delete federation. I have never run a Lemmy server though, so take that with a tiny grain of salt.

          Yeah, but companies can also “choose” to ignore GDPR requests. I don’t think talking about instances not following the spec and deleting things when requested is relevant.
