If public page can be linked back to you then can be considered personal information and therefore be subject of GDPR.


No. That’s not how it works.

Read the law before posting wildly misleading comments like this.

If you explicitly make something public, you can’t later come and claim that this information is actually crucial to your privacy. If so, you yourself was the one who violated that privacy, not the company later archiving/caching/processing your public article.

GDPR is all about decency and common sense wrt. user data and privacy.

No need to spread FUD about something that simple. SV proved tech companies can’t be trusted to act ethically, so here comes the regulation. Deal.
