 Replying to [comment:55 pento]:

 > This was changed because "personally identifiable information" has
 special meaning in the GDPR, while also being open to interpretation by
 the supervisory authorities. Once the GDPR has come into force and some
 test cases have been run, we'll have a better idea of exactly what wording
 we can use here, I think.

 Wait, are you (.org foundation, A8C lawyers, people having decision making
 powers over this piece of text) suggesting you're going to intentionally
 leave stores open for liability because you don't know how to deal with
 GDPR? Even though you had prior knowledge about what needs to be done?

 Would YOU want to be one of the few sites on which the test cases will be
 run?
