How does the GDPR interfere with one’s right to lawful political speech?

First amendment is protecting all speeches except direct threats of violence. Right to be forgoten is by essence incompatible with the first.

It says nothing in the text of the first amendment that direct threats of violence are not covered. If that restriction is compatible with the first amendment I don't see why a future right to be forgotten can't be.
