    Sharing publicly available information is a GDPR violation? Wouldn’t that be on the person who originally made the info public.

      GDPR works like copyright in that regard. Just because someone publishes something, doesn’t mean you may re-publish it.

      This data is especially problematic since it is about people’s political views. That’s defined as sensitive data. By default, it is a violation to even create or store such data at all, even if you kept it private. You could only do that legally if you benefit from specific exceptions.
