Black Hole
May contain traces of nut
The RPi forum is turning off their PM system because of fears it may contravene the requirements of GDPR and COPPA (Children's On-Line Privacy Protection Act, USA). The presumed risk is (I believe) that subscribers are not age-verified, and the PM system is not moderated and therefore a potential route for grooming, and the operators (RPi Foundation) don't want to be a test prosecution.
That is the only forum I am aware of taking this approach.
