Re: [Mailman-Developers] GDPR

You might need to pay for a consultation this time.
There is indeed a lawful basis for processing that is archiving in the public interest. But you simply misunderstand those provisions if you believe they give any public or private operator of every archived mail list scope to deny the right to be forgotten.

Having been talking to some actual lawyers about GDPR compliance, I find this analysis absurd.
Specifically about the right to be forgotten, it means that you have to be able to unsubscribe, i.e., the list operator forgets that you subscribed, but it does not mean that everyone has an arbitrary right to unsay anything they might later regret. I note that the putative analysis of Art. 17 skips over the exceptions which include archiving in the public interest.
There might be some tweaks to Mailman to make it easier to document who signed up and when, but for the most part it's not a big deal. Remember that when GDPR analyses talk about mailing lists, what they have in mind are broadcast lists (which is what 99% of lists are), not the discussion lists that Mailman runs.

We did.
In view of our competent legal advice, we'll take our chances. Nobody's denying the right to be forgotten, but some of us are familiar with the case law and have some idea what it means.
