I have been increasingly having to re-run my purge scripts across multiple accounts, despite not being on reddit for a few weeks now. The longer i wait between logging in and purging comments, the more appear.
And they do appear quasi-random, as if they page/comments get restored when another user pulls/visits an older page.
How does this even square with privacy regulations anyhow. If a user wants to delete their comments, forcibly restoring them against their will is, at best, unseemly.
Yeah, places that have “right to be forgotten” laws should be monitoring and logging proof of examples over a period of time where deleted comments and posts are restored.
Yes. Just had „Nuke Reddit History“ overwrite and delete everything, took a screenshot of my empty account, and then demanded a GDPR takeout of all my data. If anything resurfaces they’ll be getting a very nice GDPR letter of death. :)
