Flood Reddit with GDPR / CCPA delete requests (kbin.social)

Reddit can restore your deleted posts. However, if people flood them with GDPR / CCPA delete requests, they may become liable for lawsuits if they don't comply.

It sounds like their current policy is to not delete your posts even when deleting your account, but there may be grounds for legal action here.

Right, but let's suppose the following:

I run some software to remove all my posts and comments (like PowerDeleteSuite), then go to some of these posts/comments and screenshot them, gathering proof the posts were in fact deleted. After a few days, if I go to these same posts/comments and screenshot them proving they were in fact restored by Reddit without my consent, wouldn't this be a ToS/PP infringement by their part, thus opening the door for some legal action?

Note that I'm not talking about GDPR since it only covers EU citizens and only applies when PII is involved (thanks for clarifying btw)
