Why are those examples ridiculous? They are all, like the GDPR, examples of regulation that says “demonstrate a basic level of care and attention when performing activities which may cause damage to users or customers”.

GDPR provisions are not onerous, are easy to follow, and are what we should expect every company handling personal data to already be doing.

The original parent examples were side projects that make no money. So while it seems reasonable to expect this of companies, GDPR also applies to nonprofits, charities, things you create just for your friends, some random thing you put on the internet when you're 15 years old and have no clue about GDPR, etc.

If it makes no money why spend money on storage?

[dageshi]

Storage is cheap. Time is not.

Clearly it isn’t anymore.

Also realistically storage has never been cheap - it’s just that historically the only people for whom it was expensive were the users.
