I am not sure if GDPR applies to nostr or relays? Maybe someone can correct me...
GDPR applies to this data, which nostr doesn't even collect:
- Name
- Email
- Username
- Location
- Physical descriptions
Nostr does not use emails. It does not ask for names, does not collect location information (Well, I guess relays see your IP, so maybe it does apply in that regard). Does not collect any personally identifiable information.
Except for user IP, I don't think there's any other data that is relevant in the eyes of GDPR? I'm not a lawyer, maybe someone knows otherwise.
My guess is if you are a relay operator, you can oblige a takedown request (for things like illegal content, GDPR ... etc...) but there's nothing stopping other relays from ignoring your actions and not following through.
I don't know if there's any way to sidestep that either. Curious to hear other thoughts 🤔
