So there's no actual security on this? That is, given the knowledge of an endpoint, anyone can issue requests against it?

How do you plan on responding to requests regarding GDPR requirements from EU residents? What happens when someone starts uploading content that could be covered under the DMCA? Following the links, should we assume that https://www.forter.com is the responsible company?

Not at all, it has nothing to do with Forter. It's my own personal project.

I hope you've learned a lesson about creating things that may help people on the modern, legislated internet. Next time, be prepared to handle all complaints first or stop providing services to people and let the bigger companies do it that can absorb the administrative costs that come with worldwide legal conformance.

It's quite sad that this is the current state of the internet.

Ok, that's fine, but it doesn't explain how you'll ensure that GDPR requirements will be handled.

Based on this I think there’s no obligation: “...a non-EU company with a website accessible to people in the EU is not, on its own, sufficient to require the company to oblige with the GDPR.” From: http://emerging-europe.com/voices/preparing-for-gdpr/

The number of people invoking GDPR on HN indicates that a lot of people are going to be let down very soon.

Yet Wikipedia exists.

Yes, and they have to comply with the DMCA and GDPR as well.
