@nlupo@amikejo.xyz @yawnbox@disobey.net I respectfully disagree. The term "public" in this context has very specific definition, and a private message - while technically readable by at least one other party, i.e. a database admin - would not meet the definition of public.
First, it must have been manifestly made public.
Second, it must have been made available to an individually unidentifiable group of people.
I would argue that a followers-only post doesn't meet the definition of public under GDPR.

@iftas@mastodon.iftas.org @yawnbox@disobey.net That's fair. By "public" I mean readable by a third party.
