Europe is bracing itself for a big shake-up in how we pay for things online, which will have significant consequences for businesses across the region. Similar to how GDPR hugely impacted how millions of organizations handle personal data when it was enforced last year, Strong Customer Authentication (or SCA) will have profound implications for how businesses handle online transactions and how we pay for things in our everyday lives when it is enforced on September 14.
SCA will require an extra layer of authentication for online payments. Where a card number and address once sufficed, customers will now be required to include at least two of the following three factors to do anything as simple as order a taxi or pay for a music streaming service. Something they know (like a password or PIN), something they own (like a token or smartphone), and something they are (like a fingerprint or biometric facial features).

You're incorrect, and TMB corrected you properly. Also, ease up a bit on the crying to mommy. Nobody is saying it is impossible, but if you LISTEN, you would hear just how difficult it was. You think you're the only one that knows SQL and how to manage data structures?
Obviously it can be designed, and is technically possible. Others have pointed out the super obvious too; If you need those data rows for system integrity, you can modify them, not delete them. If we had an ID that used to belong to somebody, it's easy to overwrite their information. Maybe even easier to just use the AC ID, assuming there is a dedicated ID for AC.
This isn't a technical discussion, but a philosophical one....
A law is not inherently correct. No, we do NOT need the ability to erase posts. This isn't a file sharing site, nor it is intended to be. Illegal content? You mean unpopular speech and attempts to suppress said speech and control the "narrative"? No. You will be held accountable for what you say in the public view, and it isn't in the interests of the public to allow people to scrub history because they made mistakes.
I didn't say that, so none of what you said there means anything with regards to my credibility. Again, you're not the only database programmer, and this isn't a technical issue. Go chat up TMB about the issues with the current data structures though. There ARE issues with THIS site and its code base that currently preclude the easy use of the "DELETE" in an SQL statement. If you have any skill at all with databases, and don't wish to damage *your* credibility, than you of course recognize that there could be issues deleting rows that are referenced elsewhere. I don't know anything about the data structures (ask TMB), but I generously code in foreign key constraints that are configured to reject DELETE statements when the ID is in use anywhere else.
You're confused and TMB corrected you.
There is a difference between moderation tools (the tech), and the reasons to have it (the philosophy). I don't believe people have a right to be forgotten with respect to their public statements. Deleting those is akin to rewriting history. Do you believe it should be okay, or the right-to-be-forgotten should be extended, to video based interviews with people making public statements? It's just a file attachment or a link in a database and surely easy to moderate, but should we?
The answer is a resounding NO. It will instantly be abused by those in power to "scrub" their images clean of anything undesirable, and then to further control that image. What about 3rd party sites like archival sites. Do they have to remove their archives of my comments on SN?
I view this as no different than somebody attempting to forcibly modify the public record for their benefit. I do not support the right for your public comments to be deleted, and it isn't in the best interests of society. Legal exceptions must be made for public forums to protect their integrity, and they are very much different than for-profit companies that profit of your information, provide private spaces for information, or offer SaaS.
Technically, lunchtime is at any moment. It's just a wave function.
