I think there's a significant difference here between someone joining groups.io
direct and giving their own information, and someone being transferred
automatically from Yahoo groups or elsewhere. The latter could possibly be
problematic under GDPR, and may lead Yahoo to prevent it to protect themselves.
I'll check the wording when I get a few minutes (I've got a PDF copy, but it's
a big document), but I think the main problem would be theirs for passing on
personal details without prior permission.

Ah, the dreaded GDPR. I assume that Mark, like Yahoogroups, Google and
everybody else in or out of Europe will store our data under the
provisions of GDPR. And presumably some statement in the terms and

The implications of GDPR for small clubs and societies is still not
that clear, even though May is not long to go (and I could mean May as
in our PM..). Consent may mean just a box on the join form that one has
to tick ('I have read the terms and conditions') or it may demand
something else like an email reply. Who knows, I suspect life will
carry on just as it has done since the computer was invented.
