Not in theory, in practice.

But as ono points out, I can screenshot or copy paste whatever I want, what is anyone going to do with that?

GDPR and the right to be forgotten is extremely hard to apply to any federated media, as it applies to the entities where you put the media in question.

It can't really stop, and it, GDPR and EU, has never pretended it can stop storage of said media. But if you are an entity that is responsible for, and collect that data, then your are responsible for that data.

Federation breaks that model. GDPR works against centralized corporations retaining your data. It will be fun to see what happens the coming decade with these laws.
