bulk redact API #5885

Closed ara4n closed 2 years ago

ara4n commented 6 years ago

lots of requests for bulk redaction support after FN spambot attacks over christmas. plus we probably need it for GDPR too. It could be as simple as 'redact all messages from this user' for now.

b-b-but event content still stays in database after redaction.

also again this: https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/1621#issuecomment-269857023

Might make sense to use this issue to track "redact all messages from this user", and the other issue for selecting multiple messages to redact.
