    Yea they keep all the data. I deleted everything on my account when the whole shitshow happened and then GDPR requested the data associated with the account and it was all still there. And when I requested that they delete that too they outright refused.

      i would love to see the answer from reddit because that sounds extremely illegal. keeping the data alone is already a violation.

      If you’re in the EU, I hope you have documentation of that. Could prove useful.

    • That sounds like a gdpr violation. Companies can keep some things under the gdpr even when asked to delete them but i doubt your comments or whatever fall into that category.

        Elsewhere in this thread, somebody mentions that Reddit only needs to unlink your comments from your identity in order for it to be technically legal for them to hang on to them.

        But if you do a GDPR request for your account and it comes back with your comments, they clearly haven’t even done that.
