This video shows that Reddit refused to delete all comments and posts of its users when they close their account via a CCPA / GDPR request.

This is absolutely insane, and shows that companies OWN you.

I think the only solution currently is to use something like Redact to mass edit your posts and comments to remove the data that you have input into the site. Reddit lives or dies on the information that users post/comment on it.

I personally believe that reddit is the type of company to save the orginal post and revert it just out of spite

The difference is that Musk doesn't have the knowledge and skill to do it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I personally doubt that.

Musk might not have his own personal knowledge. But this is violating a law in California in which the person in this video seems to in California.

Plus reddit seems to based in California.

This goes behind being a scumbag, and into the territory of ignoring the CCPA.

This is magnitudes worse than simply being a greedy capitalist.

Or have the skill (or desire) to keep the personal that have the knowledge in the company.
