I guess we can't add what we think it affects anymore either (I.E. add
Launchpad Foundations or Launchpad Bugs) since it is a duplicate.
I think Bug Control should revert the duplicate status as described
above by myself and Tom.
Sincerely,
Craig
** Also affects: launchpad-foundations
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- Answer doesn't allow you to remove replies
+ Launchpad should allow reply editing and/or removal by user (without
administrative intervention) for various reasons
** Description changed:
I can edit the question but I can't edit the answer. Why you can edit
the question and not the answers or replies?
What if I'm doing e-shopping having also https://answers.launchpad.net/
open. I'm copying and pasting my credit card number in the e-shop form,
then suddenly my cat jump on my keyboard and the my credit card number
is pasted in a answers.launchpad.net and the form is submmitted?
What if I'm reporting a long log file excerpt with personal informations
(like MAC addresses or passwords) and after removing almost all sensible
informations and submitting the reply I realized that I missed the
remove a single important personal information?
Websites like stackoverflow.com allow you delete a reply for any reason
without delay. Other sites wait some minutes before copying replies
across the network (through mails) for decrease the information leak in
case that the user changed his/her mind and decide to remove his/her
post.
Some jurisdiction like the Italian law about privacy says that the
holder of personal data should be able to obtain the removal of any
personal data without any unjustified delay (Dlgs 196/2003 Art. 7 and
Art.8) http://www.camera.it/parlam/leggi/deleghe/Testi/03196dl.htm
The law speaks about the removal of any data which is personal, not only
data *too* personal.
Maybe this something that it's true to all the EU. I'm not a lawyer.
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_privacy_law :
----begin-of-wikipedia-excerpt----
The European Directive on Protection of Personal Data, released on July 25,
1995 was an attempt to unify the laws on data protection within the European
Community. As a result, customers of international organizations such as Amazon
and eBay in the EU have the ability to review and delete information, while
Americans do not.
----end-of-wikipedia-excerpt----
Isn't the law of country of the user that matters when a service is used
across countries boundaries?

+ Update:
+
+ Based on responses:
+ We also think think this change this affect not only Launchpad Answers, but
also other systems, such as Launchpad Bugs. It would be handy to be able to
edit and/or delete your *response* within a specific time-frame of posting in
case of whatever response for whatever reason.
