Don't they honour deletion requests

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 22 points 5 months ago

Yes but I believe the requests themselves are actually publicly available knowledge.

I think it depends on the circumstances. I work for a publisher and submitted a request for one of my clients copyrighted books to be removed from the archive, and they took it down the same day.

I think they'd legally have to as well if something violated GDPR

[–] General_Effort@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

I don't think so, reading their terms.

The same people that harass librarians and burn books en masse, is my first guess.
