Email doesn’t disappear

Well, right now email doesn't disappear — but under the GDPR anyone can demand that an email server delete any messages he sent (or at least remove his name from them). I think that's a horrible approach, but it appears to be what the GDPR demands.

What if someone's already downloaded email from that server, or forwarded it on to their friends? Seems absurd. Anyone can demand anything. You just tell them it can't be done.
