Anyone on the list has until 1 January to appeal to have their name removed.

I mean, the GDPR exists, and generally I think that's a good idea. I don't know how I can consolidate these conflicting beliefs though; other than maybe due to 1 being an investigation - the right to privacy shouldn't exist due to the greater obligation to serve justice.

Come on now. Clearly John Smith #23 is an entirely different person than John Smith #103.
