    Well now I’m glad I deleted my entire history as well as my account. FUCK THAT. I haven’t been on FB, Twitter or any of that other data grubbing bullshit in years.

      I also deleted my history, 13 years, thousands of comments. I used Redact, it took a couple of retries and logout/login but in the end, it worked.

          Based on how Reddit keeps data, that’ll either make a massive legal overhead while they try to sort out the legal basis for keeping the data, then again for using it with 3rd party advertisers, then again when they’re told to delete it after a limited lifespan.

          Or, Reddit goes 100% dark in the EU.

            Or they completely ignore and it and nothing happens until someone actually sues them and it goes through the courts, which could take years.

              I don’t have to sue them, in France if someone fucks with my data I can create a case on the CNIL website (the National Comission of IT and freedom) and tell on the idiots.

              Then the CNIL takes them on, and brings out the hammer of the law if needed.
