T is a user on bsd.network. You can follow them or interact with them if you have an account anywhere in the fediverse.
If you don't, you can sign up here.
So apparently, if Google indexes a site, then that site disappears (DNS gone, etc).. Google keeps it indexed, forever.
This is deeply deeply flawed.
@Wolf480pl how is that supposed to work if the domain doesn't exist in DNS?
@pertho I mean, if you respond with 410 _before_ disappearing.
If a domain disappears from DNS that's either because someone forgot to pay, or because they're getting censored. In both cases, I'd rather have the content archived.
@pertho Does GDPR and the right to erasure affect that? Eg. can a site admin demand that Google erase everything it knows about you/your site?
@shadowfacts Yeah I think there is something in place but the Google Webmasters page only gives you the option to "Temporarily Hide" which is stupid if you want it removed
@pertho what about HTTP 410 Gone ?
