Attached: 2 images 👿 PSA: #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts to save what they consider "their data". This is a new low and probably illegal at least in Europe. You can send a GDPR or CPRA request here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request These are screenshots of my profile on June 14th before and after overwriting and then deleting all my posts with Powerdelete. Today, June 16th all my posts have been restored by Reddit without my knowledge or consent. #redditblackout #redditmigration #kbin #lemmy

I just logged in and checked my reddit account, and all my deleted posts have come back.

    If this checks out, they may be in disrespect of a bunch of privacy laws including GDPR.

      And you really don’t want to screw around with GDPR:

      1. Non-compliance with an order by the supervisory authority as referred to in Article 58(2) shall, in accordance with paragraph 2 of this Article, be subject to administrative fines up to 20 000 000 EUR, or in the case of an undertaking, up to 4 % of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher.

        Damn with screenshots and everything. Reddit might be screwd

      Now, that depends. Does the GPDR require a formal process to request to be deleted? They could claim that any activity that doesn’t come in through that formal process doesn’t count.

      Sounds like all you EU Redditors that had your comments restored need to use that account deletion page.

        The request can be in any form and to anyone in the company
