Hobby site operator hit with formal GDPR deletion demand

Original: Ich betreibe [ein kleines Projekt / eine Website / einen Dienst] neben Job und Alltag. Ich speichere nur das Nötigste: N

A German-speaking operator of a small side-project website says they received a formal deletion request despite storing only usernames and email addresses. The demand cites multiple GDPR articles, including Articles 12, 17 and 19, in what they describe as a pre-written legal wall of text. The account sparked discussion about how such templated requests burden volunteer-run, non-commercial projects that keep minimal data.

Why now: It touches a nerve with hobby admins worried about disproportionate GDPR complaints against small projects.
