I feel very concern, because of the title of the dissertation, which is very precise, the fact that my first name appear, with the first letter of my familyname (I used it when I registered because french universities use softwares to compare the content of dissertations with the content of the Internet to be sure that nobody cheat, and, if someone had answer to me, I might have been in danger if I did'nt let any clue to prove that I really was the author of the threat). Now, I'm easily identifiable.
Moreover, I couldn't know reasonably that this forum obey to the US law, because there isn't any clue which show it belongs to this law. The use of english langage and the absence of ".us" in the adress made me think that his forum was british. And Britain is party of the Convention for the Protection of Individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data, from which come from the french law. The Common Law country use practically the same law.
But that's not a problem. International law is my specialty. That's why I now that the fact that is the US law which is competent doesn't change anything in practice. Indeed, your country have signed the Safe Harbor Principle with the european Union (and my country is a member of this entity). One party (the forum) is american, and the other (me) is an european citizen. So, this international convention must be applied. According to this agreement, people can consult, modify or delete the information about them. So, under the US law, you must delete this thread and my account. An international convention is higher than a simple national law. So, the national provisions can't be applied against me. Consequently, the removing of this thread and my account is mandatory.
