Comment (by iandunn):

 I tend to agree with Ozz on this, the vast majority of posts will not
 contain personal data, and are already publicly available, and editable by
 the author. I think this is something that can probably be handled
 manually on a case-by-case basis.

 I think this could likely be a situation where the GDPR only requires us
 to be transparent in the privacy policy about the fact that posts are not
 included in export/anonymize tools because of practical limitations.

 Or at the very least, we need some more discussion to interpret the GDPR's
 requirements in this context.
