Addressing Recent Claims of “Manipulated” Blog Posts in the Wayback Machine

What's the GDPR impact on this?

If I have my own blog on my own domain, and Google and Wayback Machine archives it, can I request them to delete it one year later under GDPR?

In general you don’t need GDPR for that. It suffices to be a copyright holder to the content made accessible on the Wayback Machine.

You can already do this, by including an entry in your `robots.txt`.

Yes, unless it is in the interest of the public to keep it up [0].

You can request they delete any personal/identifiable data. So any references to names, email, pictures of you etc but probably not content.

Wayback Machine does respect robots.txt, I think. I'm curious what happens if you lose control of your domain, though.

If you lose control the whole history of the site gets nuked by a new robots.txt. This has happened in a few notable cases fairly recently.

I guess so if that blog identifies you in some way, which you can probably argue it does.

PII is identifiable with you and personal. Though practically I can't see Google checking if particular pages have PII rather than just regular information.

Almost all my blogging is about tech, not PII at all.
