Interpretation of some random person on the internet

I imagine this might fall under Art. 17 3. (Right to erasure), possibly (e) specifically.

> Paragraphs 1 and 2 shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:

Although I wonder how it works with Art. 16 (Right to rectification) which does not list such an exception.

I’m also not sure what constitutes a “personal activity” in Art. 2 2. (c) (Material scope), so it might just not apply depending on the project.
