If you want to delete your Reddit account from the pushshift Reddit dataset, you have a Google form: https://teddit.net/r/pushshift/comments/pat409/online_removal_request_form_for_removal_requests/ https://teddit.net/r/pushshift/comments/pat409/online_remova...

  > Right now, we internally blacklist the account so that the data is not exposed via any public API. For full disclosure, we currently do not permanently delete any data unless there is a major issue involving PII, etc. While you have the right to request that people cannot search your comments and submissions via the public API, we reserve the right to keep data in our private archive so long as we never allow any data that you requested be removed get exposed through any public API endpoints. Your deleted comments even after requesting to be removed from pushshift can still be found in the archives e.g. what https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/ https://camas.github.io/reddit-search/ uses

    It says it's using the pushshift api on the page.

      Don't know what to tell you, I tried opting out a year ago [1] and they still have some of my deleted comments today [2]. Pushshift is a massive GDPR violation so I'm surprised they haven't gotten into any trouble yet.

        Report them to the relevant authority if you can. Assholes like this need to be stopped.

        They get reported and fined €10m. However, if they're not European or have EU-based assets, what makes you expect they'd care or ever pay?

This is why I'm really happy to have GDPR. If this were a European company someone would eventually tear them a new one. "Reserve the right" is a cheeky choice of words for keeping data that isn't theirs against people's consent.

      > "Reserve the right" is a cheeky choice of words for keeping data that isn't theirs against people's consent. How is it "your data" if you use their property (reddit.com) to post content on their website? IP and other PII I can understand, as reddit gets that no matter what interaction you do with the website, it makes sense to protect that. But as soon as I make this comment on HN, I don't really expect to "own" this comment anymore, it now belongs to news.ycombinator.com.

        When you make a post on Reddit, you give that site permission to publicly display and retain it. However, what is being talked about here is a third-party scraping that post and keeping it without your permission, the permission that you did grant to Reddit.

        Not according to GDPR and its right to be forgotten. The data subject always has the last say about data that concerns them. Just because data about me exists doesn't give unlicensed third parties unlimited rights to it.

        Good luck with enforcement.

That's so helpful, thank you so much. I just found a reddit post I'd deleted in 2015 that had the title of an earworm.
