    I was talking hypothetically. Are they allowed to do that? If not, then they cannot be noncompliant with GDPR, simple as.

      Are they allowed to do that?

      Actually yes. The people that run afoul of the GDPR are the people who run the instance servers. The code writers are not the ones legally responsible.

        Yeah, theu are just as legally responsible as admins of instances.

          That’s going to vary heavily based on regional laws. You cannot make such a blanket statement like that.

            Yes I can.

              Ok, sure. You can. You can also just be completely wrong at the same time.
